Sally, I find that benign neglect quite often works best. LOL
Well, I'm still fence sitting. I had discussed it with Ric and we pretty much decided that we were going to heavily much them and see what happens. Then I was out cleaning away the dead 4:00's that were planted in the same bed and I saw all the stones in that bed. You know out of sight out of mind. Last year in the rush to finish moving the old dirt pile and get the cannas in. I never got around to sifting the dirt for stones. Not something I always do. But this area was a one time very long ago a parking spot. There was a good bit of crushed limestone that came to the surface when Ric rototilled the bed. I didn't have time last spring to shift. Now the question isn't just how to store the cannas but weather to de-stone the bed. Here is a pic from last week the bed was still looking pretty good until the recent heavy frost.
