Garden Re-do

I have been fighting a ground cover in one of my flower beds and decided I would save the plants I wanted and kill everything else. It proved harder then expected. Way into the season I knew I would never get it planted this year. So with winter approaching, I decided to till it up one more time and tuck my saved plants into the dirt still in the pots and cover them with leaves. I am hoping I will not lose to many plants. Then in the spring I will till it up again and make sure that the ground cover is gone once and for all.

Well, I got all the plants I wanted to save, out of the flower bed I am re-doing and then used the weed trimmer to get the rest under control. You should have seen me, I looked like the incredible hulk...I was covered from head to toe with green juice from the plants. The bed was finally dry..I thought....but the plants were holding on to all the water. Just as I was finished, a salesman for the cable company walked up the driveway. I thought ok..make me mad and I will really become the hulk (I hate having to deal with salesmen and telemarketers) But of course he commented how nice my yard looked and he enjoyed the fish in the pond...how could I be mad? I told him the boss (Mike) decides on TV issues. I don't watch that much TV myself. So he left me with a flyer to give to the boss and I was back to my being the swamp monster. I am just glad it is done. Now Mike can use the Round-up on what is left, then I can till and start planning the stone pathway. I can't wait to get all my plants back in the ground.
