Leaves Eaten?
My pansy and ornamental cabbage leaves began to disappear after I
planted them two weeks ago. Several critters eat pansy leaves but the
most common one is a creature you might not predict. What
chewed 'em?

Many trees and shrubs have attractive bark that can add texture and
color to the winter garden. Placing plants with showy bark near
evergreens can help to increase their visibility.
