@Larry I've never had such major destruction after a new planting.
The first group that went in to that garden, in late May, wasn't touched by any critters at all, so it didn't occur to me to sprinkle dried pepper flakes for this most recent grouping!!
@Diana thank you! This has been a nasty year for me physically! I think my severe stress from almost losing our house this year, and for the third time in five years, finally caught up with me, once the house was saved, along with taking care of my mom after she broke her pelvis and nearly immediately after that, she had developed a rash from medication that lasted an entire month!! That's just the tip of the iceburg!
Tomorrow, the plan is to replant those two daylilies, and the other plants that need homes, before the rain comes along in the afternoon!!
