This year, we had had it with our shrubbery beds. The edging had disappeared under the grass and we didn't even like most of the shrubbery that came with the house.
We were inspired by what we had done in the front of the house so we started in and ripped out the bed on the west side of the house. The children are pulling out the old ineffective edging.
Good bye shrubbery. Especially the thorny shrubbery.
The finished product. Well, almost finished. I have some irises from a friend to plant. Next year, we'll see those daylilies and iris nicely filling out the bed.
The west bed looked good, so we started in on the south and east beds.
Finished product (plus future iris).
Old east side with out of control bushes.
Nice new east side. Look at the straw on the left side of the picture. That is how much new grass we had to add. The old edging was that far into the yard.
