Digging
The bush close to the house has been dying for the last few years. Today, I dug it out. Yes, I am tired. Tomorrow we will plant a tall grass Erianthus ravennae if I can find it. Never really liked it, always a job to keep in trim. The red in the spring was nice, but never lasted, and it's been going yellow with dead bits. This year it was clearly suffering. The last one was from two years ago, and it was in much worse shape this spring. Dug out old irrigation tubing, I suspect its disintegration was part of what killed the bush. The one on the other side isn't doing well either. I'll probably tackle that one soon as well.

That old style of "foundation" plantings has really run its course. All over our neighborhood for the last couple of decades people have been rethinking and reworking those old-style plantings. So many new ideas are really appealing!

It really is a 70-80s thing isn't it? Well, earlier even. My Allen Park aunt & uncle put in that sort of hedge right next to their foundation, so - late 60s.
Who knows how long it was there? Dylan saw it as a feature of houses in his neighborhood growing up, and never liked it. I didn't mind but that it overgrew over the walkway and was a pain to keep in check.
Hoping annuals and a tall grass will work better.
