Not too long ago the flower garden above was a pile of weeds, sticks, and scattered rocks. Underneath were perennials screaming for help. The owner of the home and big lot next door to our house has been out of state for over a year, and the people who were renting to buy got the heave-ho. They packed up and left in the middle of the night, so tending to the flowers obviously wasn't among their priorities.
I had enjoyed the spring beauty of this circular garden for 26 years, and now it looked like a tangled rat's nest. This called for action. Flaming Bore to the rescue! I spent an afternoon de-wedding and clearing out all the debris. Another retired, busy-body neighbor saw what I'd done and volunteered to haul away the mess. Now, two weeks later--presto!
The word around the 'hood is that new rent-to-buyers are moving in at the end of this month. If they don't take care of the garden, I'm going to ram them into submission with my Welcome Wagon!

Guess you won't be bringing over a covered dish with the welcome wagon. Looks great. You did an awesome job and kuddos to you for taking the time to do it. How much do you charge per hour? lol
That is wonderful of you to do. You need to include a little gardening basket with your welcome wagon. ;)
Very pretty.
That was one lucky garden area! Hope the next people to move in deserve such a nice neighbor!
