Re: What would you do?

Reminds me of a post I did called "Gumdrops and Meatballs." Kudos to the volunteers, but they could conserve some hours of work by letting the shrubs go au naturel. Some color would be nice and some contrast.

Re: What plant(s) did you kill this year?

Enjoyed the video. Favorite plant this year is probably the Salvia leucantha. Or maybe the Moonflower vine. Ok, I know. It's Turks Cap (Malvaviscus drummondii) just because it's hard to get here.

I killed a couple things but what hurt the most was that both of my sages, Purple sage (Salvia officinalis ‘Purpurea’) and Dwarf Sage (Salvia officinalis “nana”), died. Too much rain after a month and a half of drought I think.
