Re: Since we are on id'ing and stuff....

Well, Donna, I took a good look at my Pulmonaria someone munched and
the bites are fairly jagged, so it could be a critter - my choice is
rabbits or groundhogs; know I have both running around this year.

Re: your doves.  Seems like you need to just put out a pot for them,
let them move in and then plant another pot with what you want to
grow.  I think it's rather neat that they want to live in your pots
and don't mind you being that close to them.
