I'm Fed UP!!!! Digging up ALL my brugs!!!!
Comments (29)Lol, poor Daniella. Ask him if he will do my laundry too. I throw it all in together and everything looks like crap, lol. I was telling John about this and he said ohhh good idea about the pots and the roots now that winter is coming he is wanting to bring in more of them so he is liking the idea of burying the pots in the ground then lifting the pots for the winter. He forgets before we did all these flower beds and I told him about this he told me I was crazy and why would I want to dig a hole and buy a pot. Just put the dang things in the ground and leave them there he said, lol. How soon he forgets now that he is getting excited that they are going to start blooming, lol. I bet we have sunken pots next year, lol. The one I had last year bloomed in the garage nearly all winter long. I think he is remembering that and realizing all those in the ground are going to have to be cut down and he will miss them blooming. Who wants to make a bet he digs up some of his to bring in the house instead of cutting them, lol....See Moredigging up my newly planted Irises
Comments (3)I've had trouble with squirrels doing this. Our next door neighbors have a huge 150-year-old oak tree so we have a ton of squirrels that love to dig in soft soil (like new plantings). And most of my pots have little oak sprouts in them from the #(^%)&@! squirrels planting acorns :-)...See MoreHow do I keep squirrels from digging up my new lawn?
Comments (4)Lucky me, I guess, because I have Kentucky bluegrass. There are endless squirrels around here. I have heard of a fundraiser for a country fire department that holds a competition for shooting squirrels. Maybe I can get them to hunt in my yard this year....See MoreAnts digging next to the root of my newly planted Japanese maple up vo
Comments (2)ants are rarely if ever a problem ... most likely.. your wife did more damage with using the weed killer known as vinegar around the tree ... if she used any serious amounts ... please.. put downt he tools.. and step away from the plant ... keep it properly watered for 2 years ... ken btw ... down here just south of ann arbor MI .. i lost two of these.. they could not handle my z5 winters .... i wish you luck ......See MoreTiffany, purpleinopp Z8b Opp, AL
