I'm so upset, the rain just stopped,it has been raining off & on for the last 3 days sometimes very hard & other times just steady or it would stop for an hour or so now & then. I went outside to check my plants & everything is doing so good.Then i went to the newest bed that i managed to get planted but didn't get any rock in before the rains started.This is also the bed the squirrels,birds & something else has been messing with.
When i say something else,we have 3 fawn's that play & eat in the yard at night,morning & right before dark.We have had so much fun watching them.We even seen them get scared late one evening when a loud thunderstorm started.They jumped straight up in the air & took off running until they were in a thicket of tree's.
This last bed was awful.Pieces of 'Angelina' pulled off the plants laying every where,missing semp's,semp's turned upside down.The semp's i have that put out so many babies on long stolon's,the babies had been pulled off & just dropped in the bed.It was like something just had fun pulling them off.These semp had 8-12 babies on long stolons,now there are only a few left. here's 2 of these plants before the critters got to them!! :smily:
It rained so hard at times that Day Lilies,Rose Campion,Penstemon all have the long stems w/blooms on them are laying down.My 'Penstemon' has had limb's laying down for a while.I hope these will stand back up.I may have to tie the 'Penstemon' it's been laying down for awhile.
I must hurry & put some rock in this bed the baby semps in it have all rooted on their sides or is this something that works out ok.Will they stand up straight in time.Now i have babies everywhere in this bed.Turned over parents,moved parents now i'm not sure which is the 'Princess Rose' & which is 'Pacific Blue Ice' i will have to wait until they get bigger and the weather turns cold for them to get their color,maybe then i will be able to tell them apart??
The fawn story was because something bigger than my basset hound has also been in it messing around,laying down or something & smooshed plants.
But nothing is being eaten!!!! just moved around,except disappearing sedum cuttings.I truly believe birds & squirrels did something with it
