I think you're right. It looks just like the picture. Thanks for all your help.

Well, that's too bad. This is a spot where we have had bad luck with other plants too. Shrubs. Everything we plant there dies. I thought that adding new topsoil and watering a lot would fix it, but I guess it's a dead zone.
