Progress report!!

Saturday evening I did more digging in the last section of the Fenceline Bed -- made some real progress after soaking the area with a hose the day before!

I was able to dig out four clumps of Irises heavily infested with Bermuda grass. On Sunday morning, I separated all of those four clumps. Had to jet-spray them repeatedly with the hose.

I'm going to try to finish digging this evening. Hot weather is on its way back in -- would sure like to avoid digging work in that!!!
