I put newspaper down around mine this year and had to put dirt on it to hold it down. Newspaper doesn't get wet and stick to the ground like it used to. I meant to ''glue'' a thick mat, but that never got done. At least you saved your marigolds :))

I wish I had a picture, but quite a few years ago I had catapillars on the purslane only. I swear, they were plaid. Reddish if I remember. I've never seen them since.
