Pacific Northwest Gardening: It's a jungle out there, 1 by drtdgr

Happy Fourth everyone! Deer, slugs, snails, overgrown plants - I need to be ever vigilant out there. Never had so many problems before with deer. They've been nibbling away at my hydrangeas (I was wondering why the shrub kept getting smaller this time of year!) alstroemeria, hostas, geraniums - oh you get the idea.

With the mulching and fertilizing, (amazingly enough!) my plants are getting out of control. I know July isn't the greatest time of year to move around plants, and it depends on the bloom time for some perennials, but I've got to at least remove some of their girth.

I would think that dividing some persicaria and Autumn Joy sedum wouldn't be a problem. I would also like to re site some acanthus. It's never bloomed in its present location. Anyone else had success in moving plants this time of year? Thanks!
