Gonna try to transplant the agapanthus. So I& #39;ll soak the planter first, then try to gently dig out the agapanthus.
Dig...dig...dig...drill...dig...dig...drill...drill...pull....SUCCESS!
Two more palms found. Easier to remove. Three total. Whew.
Saved 5 agapanthus roots. The larger, more established plants/root systems will survive.
I& #39;m spent. Couch potatoing the rest of the day.

That& #39;s a lie.
I& #39;ll have to replant those small agapanthus plants today so they don& #39;t die. I& #39;ll wait til it& #39;s cooler.
Oh crap.

After my gardeners trimmed the lantana down to nothing, THIS is what I found lurking beneath.
They ALL have to go.
