Question
I have two flower beds along my east fence and south fence that are constantly wet.  I incorporated organic material with the hopes that this would help but I don't think it has.  Our soil is typically mostly clay but as a new homeowner of four years I had the beds dug out and a flower mix added.  Any ideas on how to help my soil dry up?

Answer
Hi Susan, Your best option now is to plant a few things that like water to help dry up the bed.  Check with your local nurseryman for his suggestions, but try these if they will live where you live.
