Happy weeding, Lynn.
I started to take a look at the damage that was done to my container plantings with the upper 20's temps we got a month ago. A few members in each pot bit the dust and I have to prune out the dead stuff and hope the remaining stumps will put forth when spring gets here or replant with extras. I also noticed mealy bugs on some of the echeveria and graptoverias so will have to clean them off and assess the damage. May have to pull those members out of the containers and replant with their offsets if any.
My next chore is to go outside and deal with a little mealy bug problem I've noticed on the semps in the semp bed. I've also noticed a few ants scurrying around and some of the red lava rock seems to be pulverized into sand texture. Can't imagine that happening by itself. Wonder if the ants do that because I see tiny piles of very sandy red rock here and there amongst the semps...
