Not long ago, we made a new flower bed as we pulled a ton of bushes in the rain and made the neighbor's raise an eyebrow or two. Afterwards, I tried to plant several different types of flowers in my new flower bed and nothing really did well. The area flooded out all the time with the huge rains we have gotten and then got brutally dry with it facing the west and the harsh afternoon sun. I knew something had to give.
This past week we did our best to solve the problem by raising up the flower bed and it seems to have done the trick. I planted wave petunias in the bed and they are looking fantastic. The job wasn't too bad. We took out all the brick runners and raised them up higher, redid the landscaping sand and filled the bed with fresh topsoil and then topped it with red mulch. Voila!
