A Garden Experiment

For The Slacker: No Digging.
First I put bags of top soil - $1.40 for 1 c. ft from Lowe's - where I wanted flowers. I put some bags straight on top of the grass and some on places where things had grown last year. 

Then I cut a big X in the plastic and turned the bag upside down. I'm thinking that with the bag cut open, the roots will be able find their way out but weeds will have trouble growing up and the dirt will have good drainage.

When I cut the bag open, the dirt was all clumped up, but using my little hand shovel, I chopped it up some.

I put a Burpee Herb Mix and some climbing nasturtiums here.

 Basil and Tomato in bags straight on top of the grass.

I have some seeds left over and plans for Seedbombs
and maybe Mintbombs too.  I can share, since my garden is totally overrun with sweet spearmint. It wants to take over the world anyway.

Julie Harris lifts this forgotten gem to a high level

"The First of May" refers to a greenhorn in the circus business, and that's what young Cory (affectingly played by Dan Byrd) is, when he runs away from his current foster home & joins forces with Carlotta, a lonely, assertive woman condemned for some reason(she has no obvious physical or mental defect) to a restrictive Florida nursing home. Carlotta is no greenhorn, however; she has had years of experience in a circus & even encounters two old friends when she & Cory join Clyde Beatty's troop. The circus scenes alone, w/ their brilliant colors & daredevil activity, would be enough to attract young viewers, but
