Any work on the outside of a house is painful to the owners. Many workers have no idea where to step and don't ask. I hope the tubers generate new growth for you.
Happy to hear of your baby agastache!
I just cut the stem, threw away the excess and kept only the top 3 or 4" so I was stunned to see the tiny bloom (the size of a nickel) today! Now I'll have to try it with others tomorrow.
