Thanks for viewing my "untitled" post.
I have a big problem area. This bed is a mess. We bought the house a couple years ago and haven't done anything with it. By early summer its bad and by middle its completely overgrown. Hoping to tackle this early this year and head off a lot of weed growth. First I want to tell you is that my biggest challenge is physical. I can hardly spend any time weeding, if I do it knocks me down and my husband had a bulging disc last year so is cautious. Perhaps we can get some guys out to do some clean up. I have a box of ajuga someone gave me that needs into the ground soon, 4 large astilbe to move here, there are some existing hydrangeas along the back wall, and day lilies here and there. I would like to fill with a lot hosta I think. Other suggestions welcome.
Knowing our physical limitations and the size of the bed, what would you suggest. I know we need to rake out the existing leaves and dead weeds. I was pulling some but they seem to have a lot of runners and trying to get them all out will be a loosing battle I think. The dirt in there seems very high quality. I think someone had some big plans at one time. It's quite shady with some of the bed getting limited overhead sun for a couple hours. The tree is a redbud. Please be kind. We live in 6A (kansas city area).
In the picture there is a trellis that has trumpet vine and clematis. It has grown up into the tree which looks beautiful from the window above.
So what would you do?
