My hubby has dabbled with flowers on and off for years.
So now that he is retired, I have taken an interest in doing
a flower bed in my front yard. it is going to be somewhere
around 10X10 or 12X12.
It is mostly shady area, Can some one give me advice on
what all I am going to need to get started, I know I need to
get rid of the grass and have dirt hauled in. I have some seeds.
but looking for some ideas, and is there something else I need
to do to get the ground ready?
The picture (4 shots) isn't that great, but it is the best I can do right now.
