The Foundation Bed

Here are where the ooops' began. There was a small azeala there when I moved in. But i had heard about the damage their roots can do to a foundation so I moved it and of course killed it. I didn't need to because it was the small kind and would have done well where it was.

Next came weed barrier. I didn't like it. So I pulled it up. What a mess I was in for. I'm still trying to deal with all of the weeds.

Garden Lighting was the next problem. The electrical lighting has a wire that runs through the bed and I'm forever digging it up. Then the lights are the orangish ones that aren't bright enough for any purpose. Also the actual lights fall apart all the time. I'd dig them up except that the stairs to the house are over them and I haven't quite gotten up the gumption to cut the wire and pull.

Did I mention the irises? Close up they get pretty ugly as they die back and I'd love to move them and I have to several locations but there are always more of them to move. I really need to get them all up out of there and that is the plan.
