Clematis is growing on the trellis. There is a fence wrapped around the trellis to keep the bunnies at bay. Two years in a row (2022 and 2023) the bunnies let the clematis grow, and just start to bloom, and then chomped it off at the ground. They didn’t eat it, they just chomped it.
The hedge is boxwood.
Between the boxwood hedge and the clematis is Jacob’s Ladder.
Yes, so many weeds low to the ground in this bed.
It is complicated. This on my list and should be solved in the next couple months.
A tile (drainage tile, underground) needs to go under the sidewalk to reduce the volume of water in this bed.
That involves digging a very deep hole to find the old tile. Then the downspout will be hooked up to that tile or a new tile will be fed through the old one.
Once that is done, the bed will be weeded within an inch of its life, and hosta will move from the backyard to create a lush border on the front edge of this bed.
