So I more or less finished pulling the S.O.B. bulbs (and they really are little S.O.B.s) out of the bed by the street. I believe I will never be rid of it. I literally filled a wheelbarrow full of the little bulbs and clinging soil. I noticed that in trying to bang off the soil the bulbettes would fall off and find their way back into the dirt. So I just removed the dirt too. I have noticed some already popping up again from the area I did a couple weeks ago! Ugh. I will try to be extra vigilant when I go to plant new things up there.
I also took out the hardy hibiscus from that bed which didn't really suite my style. I'll put the hibiscus in a container for now. It isn't bad, but that particular bed was such a mishmash of things, I needed to simplify. I also plan to take that ornamental grass clump out. Again, I like ornamental grasses, but that just isn't the place for it.
Here are some of the plants I ordered to put in that bed:
And I already have in there:
I think some nice white annuals will fill it all out nicely :)
