Spent upwards of 9 hours digging out Bermuda grass and planting this flower bed directly off my pergola. I’m super proud of the work I did. It was so hard… the Peggy Martin roses are already jumping to the pergola post where they’ll be trained. Everything else is thriving.
This is a full sun flower bed in zone 8b.
Looking for compliments as well as suggestions! 😂
Since this medium size bed was so hard to dig out and create, should I kill grass next time if attempting to create more? Should I hire it out? Is that crazy expensive? Will the salvia, mulhy grass, and Peggy Martin rose fill in the empty or do I need more? Will I be fighting Bermuda my whole life?!
Just wanted to share. I’m proud of myself.

This looks great, nicely done!
Looks great, nice work!
Seems like you have plenty of lawn… I see more garden beds in your future 😛
You are a beast and congratulations on a great project! The one thing I would change is a smile on your face. Landscaping is hard work. Add some lights in there to highlight your work at night and enjoy.
Awesome effort man!😃💪💪💪🥳🥳🥳🫶💚
I love it!! Whenever you want to expand or add a garden just weigh down some cardboard for at least 6 months (I’ve done from November to April and hand dug whatever wasn’t fully dead which wasn’t too much) and that will give you a lower labor start.
