I've spent a good number of hours in this area the last 10 days or so, pulling out manky zinnias and cosmos, yanking weeds, laying newspaper and spreading compost. I also laid a dozen pieces of flagstone, hoping it would be enough that I could make my way through the bed without compacting the soil. I need more flagstone: my legs are short. I'd wish for longer legs in my next life but I suspect I'd come back as a giraffe.
Yes, we do have to be careful what we wish for:) You've been very busy, Cindy--how exciting to have a clean bed for new plantings. I need to put down some stones, too, if I make my beds any wider. I do have long legs, but I've been known to trip and squash a few plants before:)
Goodness, you have lots of new space to plant more goodies. I know what you mean about being careful what you wish for...I think I'd better just accept what I've got right now! I added a 3-for-thursday link to my recent post (it's my first time!). Jan http://thanksfor2day.blogspot.com/2010/10/three-for-thursday-used-on-blooming.html

What a huge project you have underway. Laying flagstone is a big and tiring job.
Not sure I would want to come back as a giraffe, but I am sure it would be better than many other animals.
