Margie, I think Julia's current position does get more sun in the afternoon/evening. The previous bed she lived in has peonies, irises, lilac, lilies, baptisia, and several other sun lovers growing happily, so it didn't occur to me that she was lacking sun. The new location was heavily amended with compost too, so that and a couple more hours of sun must have done the trick. The really surprising thing to me is how she's being looked over by the Japanese beetles. They're devouring several, but are at least leaving some for me too- hopefully we've come to an agreement, LOL.
How do you use DE - on the soil? I inoculated the soil here with milky spore several years ago, and never see grubs when I'm digging any more.
Thank you for the acorns!
