Weed beds no longer

The previous owners of our home loved flower beds, or should I say WEED beds. They put in SO many "flower" beds that they obviously couldn't keep up with them and they were terribly overgrown with weeds. They also liked rocks and LOTS of them! It was all very overwhelming, even for my mom (an avid gardener) . . . just way too many weeds. After several months and countless loads of rocks and weeds with the wagon; along with free mulch from the transfer station (dump) I have managed to get the main bed to be a true FLOWER bed (just need to get the pavers for the edge)! I love how much better everything looks . . . flowers makes me happy! Thank you Mom for sharing perennial starts with me!
