Ajuga Plants Have Disappeared

Question From: d. duker - Hendersonville, Tennessee, United States
Q: I had great ajuga beds growing for 4-5 years. This spring every plant was gone...like they were never there. Not chewed down by the deer, not dead, gone. No trace of them. Not a one out of probably a hundred in several parts of the yard. How can this be? I'd blame some friend with a twisted sense of humor but I'm a geezer..close to 80..so the days of friends' pranks are long gone.

A: I have no clue. Check with the police to see if there is an Ajuga rustler working the area. Best Nancy
