Victor, please remind me never to plant mischantus. I think I recall you digging one out last year too.

We got our new bed finished, all 47 feet of it. Then I tackled the cedars behind it. After blooding my foreheard with one too many whacks on some dead limbs, I called out to DH to get out the chain saw. So we ended up doing several hours of serious pruning. That was the easy part, but then we had to clean up the mess. "We gotter done". The cedars and pines all look better, but I have a big lump over my eye.

I decided we need a path through the new bed, so I will have to haul rock up there tomorrow. We have so few left, but I know we need a path. I hope my Japanese maples arrive tomorrow, we are suppose to have more rain. Final shot of it all dug.

I managed to finish the raking on the south side of the house today, now just the west side to do. I haven't even thought about lime. I may let the lawn mowing guys do it.

Wha, sounds like a plan to not dig out those roots and use the area for containers. Patti
