Shade garden

This customer has a mature oak tree in the corner of her garden so it is a shady spot. She loves ferns and has planted several varieties in this corner. She asked me to get 2 more cinnamon ferns, so we planted them today. She also loves roses, but she does not like the Japanese beetles that eat all of the leaves. We ended up removing 4 of them today. She had bought a Rose of Sharon to replace 2 of them, and a deutzia to replace the other 2.
Lots of weeding, deadheading and some trimming done today.
I stepped in a nest of something today, I think it was ground hornets. I felt something stinging my ankles, and I got out of there quickly. I told the homeowner about it, so he can spray it. Albert found some mud for me to put on them. Of course the tube of After Bite that I have was sitting at home. Albert had his gf's car today, so he had nothing with him. Eden thought she had something with her, but couldn't find it. When I got home I washed the mud off and put some After Bite on my ankles. So far I do not have any reaction to the stings. Sometimes I get a large localized reaction.
