there wont be too many critters to get into them...the outside cats kill everything that moves. no worries there. my concern is the neighbors kids. my yard is posted and ive asked him nicely( very nicely- to the point it almost made me sick...) 'to keep his sweet little adorable children on their side of the yard', ok no problem..not five minutes later they were back in my yard stomping on my daylilies that cost a small fortune, while he was walking around in his yard on the cell phone. so this year im not going to ask politely, im gonna be very nasty and hateful. i will tell him if he dosent keep his kids out of my yard he will be replacing everything that they damage. then i will call the law.
. i also have to see if my fav. gh has my crown of thorns plants. ill plant them on the property line and dare them to try and step over them. lol. if you know what they are and have ever been stuck by one, they really hurt and they dont stop hurting even when the thorn is pulled out.
