I so want to fire the landscapers at the property I work at where this Semp garden is (pictured above)! They did mulching, and didn't take a whole lot of care:

Grr! Grumbling

I told the resident who is the owner of these Semps if it was ok to clean them up, as I feared being buried in mulch will kill them. He had no problem with me doing that, so I did. I took a gas-powered leaf blower, and here is how they look now:

I have to observe the wishes of my company, but at the same time, I'm not going to just sit here and let these Semps die Sad Do you think they will be ok now? Is there more I can do to make sure the mulch won't kill them? I am tempted to buy them from this guy to be honest Big Grin
