Pic related is the peppermint, what kind of bugniggers are squatting in my porch garden, /hgm/? Did the cedar bed in the background bring them in? I didn't notice the little crawlers until I installed the damn thing last weekend. I couldn't get a good picture of them because they're like 2mm long at the largest but they're fucking everywhere on the concrete patio and are oval-shaped and dark green/gray. I live on the Kansas-Missouri border if that helps.
