That way when you trim you have a clean cut from the lawn side and don't have to be wary of hitting the flowers. He says he just uses the edge of the trimmer (hold it sideways). I will soon know..<br /><br />This made wonderful whipped cream and took such a short time I almost made butter again!gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-49470705848618393642017-04-03T06:30:10.881-05:002017-04-03T06:30:10.881-05:00Hi Glenda, I think the edging will be nice!

I'm constantly fighting that so we'll have to try this. So you dig a 6 inch edge and fill it with mulch...is that right?<br />The homemade butter sounds good! I haven't had that it many, many years. My mother used to make it but what I remember loving most was the homemade whipped cream she made. Yum!

I wasn't sure just what he would do. I am hoping once it is all done, maybe I can maintain with just the occasional help. He said he is willing to work that way.<br /><br />We are still to wet to actually work the ground but no snow and freezing like you still have.<br /><br />Hang on, warm weather is sure to come....Global Warming you know!gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-76990877744042833222017-04-02T08:43:01.966-05:002017-04-02T08:43:01.966-05:00Welcome Sue.

I hope to have these beds full to the brim this summer. I just wasn't sure how it would appear in my large country yard.<br /><br />I use butter in cooking and in eating....almost all recipes that call for shortening too.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-80295025182679114802017-04-02T08:39:23.978-05:002017-04-02T08:39:23.978-05:00the neat thing is not me but I hope it makes the t...the neat thing is not me but I hope it makes the trimming faster. I just can't get it all done these days, about two hours at a time and it takes that long to just do the front ditches for me. <br /><br />It is rainy again today....better than dry.

We were supposed to get some yesterday but it stayed to the west of the state and mostly out over the ocean. Your place does look nice and green.<br /><br />I bet you will love your beds edged this way once you get used to it. It will be nice to not have your grass encroaching the beds.<br /><br />Your butter looks GREAT!<br /><br />Happy Spring and I hope you have some warmer and drier days ahead ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-43637402179480296432017-04-01T13:36:01.245-05:002017-04-01T13:36:01.245-05:00I tried that edging last year and LOVE it.

A lot of work to set up, but then it's actually less work.<br /><br />I'd love to try homemade butter. We eat a LOT of butter around here.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-61344593024975132532017-04-01T11:50:49.711-05:002017-04-01T11:50:49.711-05:00Hooray that your new "lawn crew" continu...Hooray that your new "lawn crew" continues to work out. I've never heard of the edging they've suggested for your beds but I think it looks kinda nice. So much greenery in your pictures for some of the rest of us (who don't have that much spring yet) to feast ours eyes upon!<br /><br />Your butter is such a lovely yellow color, and I'm sure tastes better than anything you can buy.<br /><br />Always enjoy seeing the pictures of your place.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
