In one night the newest large salvia was dug up, the new daylily my DD sent me (which had put up a scape and was about to bloom) was dug up, a medium evergreen sumac was dug up except for a single intact root (last time it had 2 roots still attached) and it dug around near a hop tree, a milkweed, a moonflower vine, and a few other things! SO angry! I had relocated one armadillo last fall and was so happy to have peace in the garden for a while. I'm putting out a trap, but it's very hard to trap them! Such a mess! The only reason that sumac couldn't be completely dug up was because it was well-established out there in limestone rocks and native soil (which isn't really true soil, it's more like almost rock when dry...called caliche). Thumbs down
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
