    I am no good at straight lines, maybe because mathematics are just not my ''thing'' and so I decided it would be best to enlist assistance from Zigs, and I'm so glad I did. DSC07866 straight edge.JPG

    But your green thumb makes up for any lacks!
    For our flower beds, we dig a 6" to 8" trench along the outer perimeter, and that keeps grass from encroaching. It's easy to take a spade and cut off any grass strands.
    Love your gardens!

    I didn't notice the lines in your garden as I was too busy looking at all the lovely plants you have. Now that you've pointed them out I can see what a great job Zigs has done. You obviously compliment each other and have a garden to be proud of.

    I'm impressed.
    Difficult to maintain straight lines when there's lawn edging to be done.

    Those are lovely borders! Never mind straight, I admire the colours.
