This past weekend BiL and Spouse fetched three cubic yards of dirt from the place that composts restaurant scraps and Spouse filled the four raised beds I acquired and set up in the back. The plan is to buy plants this coming week or two and get the Victory Garden started. We've got more dirt than room for it, but I have a few planters that are due for digging up and replanting.
Trying to figure out what to do with the front bed. No matter what I put in the weeds overtake them. Pulling out the weeds doesn't work. It's mostly clay, shells, and rock anyway. At this point I'm thinking I do one last pass for gladiolus and start cutting it like it's the rest of the lawn. We'd have to pull out the bricks I used to define the front of the bed, but that's not much work. And we have dirt to fill it in with.
