Plants Should Have Wheels

One time a friend told me that she was notorious for moving plants around and that she thought they should have wheels. I am the same way.....I've even moved them more than once in a season! Today I needed to move some really big plants so I got out the BIG GUN....

I pulled out 2 unproductive lilac bushes and and old cherry tree trunk. They were too large for the bed and were blocking out a fair amount of sun. Then I pared down some "out of control" perennials and planted more primroses. The bed looks a little beat up right now, but it will bounce back in a few days.....and look!
