We grow a lot of black-eyed susans and I can't imagine what could have happened to them that wouldn't leave the soil disturbed. I thought about moles, but they probably couldn't tunnel under that adobe clay--they can't tunnel in our hardpan red clay soil here. Mice or voles? It is a mystery. Hope you solve it.
