Same thing here. My first bunch of calladiums are just great. The second and much larger planting was the one attacked by critters, presumably the legions of squirrels in my yard. The few surviving ones are mighty puny. LOL

I'm getting exasperated with the struggle. My yard had been pretty much neglected for years before I got the house at the end of last summer. Just trying to shape it back up has been a big chore. Most of my efforts aren't apparent this year but hopefully will pay off come fall or by early next spring. Now, our very oppressive summer heat is upon us and that along with summer plans and several committments may bring a halt to most of my yard work until early fall. We'll see what hapens. :)

The joys of homeownership. Some days I think I could move into RetireVillage somewhere and let the staff screw with the grounds, the building maintenance, the insurance, the cooking, the shopping, the dirty dishes, the housekeeping - what am I leaving out? ;-)
