You can see this little notch in the layout of the deck--the deck's done here but I confess I still don't have this little spot covered with the same edging treatment. I like how the deck appears to hover over the ground.

First I trimmed them, I have been using the term "flush" but really they were 7/16" beyond the frame member. Then I used a six inch wide board, 7/16" thick, under the deck, against the frame as a "skirt". It makes for a cleaner appearance, hiding much of the frame, and it also extends beyond the bottom edge of the frame member, trapping the supporting blocks from migrating outward.
