Carol...no newspaper under the straw/dry grass clippings. I worked hard at eliminating weeds the first year I made the beds before planting in them the following year. In early to mid spring before I put out new mulch I do have to deal with a few weeds (and plenty of re-seeders) and pulling out the creeping Quack Grass from the "lawn", but as far as weeds go it is very minimal. Amazing since the strip bed faces an abandoned field with a ton of weeds plus the nextdoor neighbor and her garden full of weeds that go to seed every single year I've been here!! I've also made real fast beds (like I done this spring)making sure to remove all traces of Quack Grass rhizomes) and mulching from the get go to prevent any weed seed germination.

I think bt (bacillus something)is effective against leaf rollers. My cannas are pretty ratty looking right now, too, it was a long, hot, dry summer with lots of plant-eating bugs. I'm not familiar with the other plant you mention, but it sounds lovely. Best luck, & have fun!
