The "island" is simply where additional fill was mounded when the house was constructed to create a raised bed on the cheap in the front yard. The previous owners were judicious in their selection of plants for the bed and it worked reasonably well.
But I would like a little more variety so its time to spend a boatload of money on dirt and colored concrete. Woohoo!
Both my Jeep and I are getting older. We let Home Depot do the loading at the store and delivery.
The "island" has become a tangle. Without a border grass gets thrown into it every time I mow. And the soil is rocky, sandy and without nutrients.
Time for a change. And luckily nothing required but money and manual labor.
I like it. The temporarily orphaned primroses and lilies are resting in the bait buckets for a day or two.
Gonna have to get a lot more soil though. Hopefully I can get another pallet of the reasonably cheap stuff. This is almost half of what I bought.
God I love Spring.
