Big time!

I've lost a medium sized aloe (at least I can reroot that). Now I've lost a Calliandra surinamensis! Right through a 1-inch trunk just below soil line.

They pop up, I'll get rid of them, then they pop up somewhere else a few months later. A never ending battle. Some of these plants I'm going to start putting in wire baskets. To top it off, the ground squirrels and bunnies are playing havoc too.

Late last summer the canyon below me was cleared of vegetation in preparation for home lots being developed. Since then it seems they've all come up on my yard. My property is the only one with mature Pepper tress and extensive vegetation around.

I wish my fat & lazy dogs would go down to the lower yard once in a while and scare some of the stuff off. All they do is lay there and give me a "Peel me a grape look".
