| Hi Sandy - Glad to hear that the engineer is being helpful. So much better to be able to enjoy what you've already planted than to try to start again. My gardens are still fairly young but they've been planned out as my "next 50 years gardens". Sure don't need a bulldozer coming by in 10 years redesigning it for me! I lucked out with our county this week. They deepened the ditch along the roadside by my big front border garden. When I planted that garden I started with plants I could afford to lose closest to the road, and harder to replace ones further in. (Mainly so that people walking down the road can easily steal a zinnia bloom or two without ever getting within 20 feet of the good flowers or within 40 feet of the peppers and tomatoes!) I was prepared for the ditch crew to do some damage to the outermost row, but somehow they dug out only ditch and weeds. I don't think a landscaping crew would have done a neater job of carefully edging my ditch-side garden row. :) I hope your digging folks take similar care with your plants. If you do find yourself in a bind and need any plants or seeds to hide the dig marks feel free to drop me a line. Happy gardens to you too! Lynda |
