Linda - I know what you mean.. the roses with mulch do SOOOOOO much better than those w/o mulch... I need to finish my mulching project ASAP. I deal with the sowbugs (rolypolys) and centipedes (hate centipedes). Don't have many earwigs this year, but spiders.. wow! And carpenter ants.. bleh!!
(just learned that sowbugs are not actually insects, but rather a type of a crustacean! Wow!)
