ps: they are not a soil borne bug .. so i dont know why you could not plant more .... but.. see above ....

I'm not moving YET. Almost there, but not quite. Funny, though -- I am thinking more and more about leaving things be (in this case, removing but maybe not replacing), why spend money now. Same goes for inside the house. OTOH, I don't like bare spots and I love buying plants, it makes me happy. LOL!

I have a couple potted shrubs left over from the patio re-build I could stick there, or maybe just plant some mums there in the fall for some color, I usually buy mums for the season anyway. I don't know what I want at this point - except a new house.

Still, a good question, since maybe others are dealing with the same issue.

That planting of coneflowers is definitely being ripped out, though -- probably tomorrow for trash day on Tuesday -- before the beasts some way or another manage to make their way 'round to the back where I've got some gorgeous clumps that are in full swing right now.

brilliant... stick a pot in there.. to assuage your neurosis ...

or garden art ...

an old shoe ...

heck.. that old bowling ball you havent pulled out in a decade ...
