| They have returned with a vengeance on my White Swan in the front of the house -- the flowers, the whole lot of them look awful -- so I'm going to shovel prune them. My question: Can I replant coneflowers in that location, or would you advise against it? |

| 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. |
