rosa, Isn't it great when that happens. It's like magic...you go in an area and it is cleared...and you didn't do it! My Husband did that to a very overgrown flower bed that I was dreading...he trimmed it all the way to the ground and within a week it is covered with lilies of the valley!!! I have been thrwarting them for years, but do love them! So we'll see what happens to that bed as the spring and summer move along.
