Well I did it, moved a few..

The weather has been cool and rainy, so almost every plant that was initially planted to close to the shrubs has been moved out further in the planter. I have been dreading it but I think I timed it well.. we will see. Some of them were definitely getting choked off with roots from the shrubs. I noticed a few had gone backwards last year, and assumed it was the blistering heat, and the invading roots.
To be honest though I have seen some worse pictures off plants choked out from underneath. I hated to do it... but in the long haul .. it will be better.

I got to thinking about it and from now on I could always take a shovel and cut a line in the dirt between the completing plants. Far enough from the Host to hopefully only severe the bad guys ;)
