We had a particularly tame Red in Sweden that stole the winter bird feed on a daily basis and became quite vocal and agitated when I approached it to issue stern warnings, which simply made it more endearing to me! I think you're right to move the box, though, in the circumstances.Iainhttp://swedishbullshit.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-34453748578886581202011-06-25T10:50:51.717-05:002011-06-25T10:50:51.717-05:00Hi Jo...My Nana used to say that all the time...I&...Hi Jo...My Nana used to say that all the time...I've always loved that saying. Your Canna Lilies are looking wonderful. Friends of ours gave us a bunch of Canna Lily bulbs or tubers?...and I planted them around the garden shed/chicken coop last week. They've all popped up but I don't think they'll do much this year. I've never grown them before so I guess we'll see. I hope it's cooler there than it is here in Kansas....tomorrow will be 100. I'm looking forward to fall!

It seems that our Japanese Beetles are fading here though, so that's good news. Hang in there... it will improve!<br /><br />Beautiful post/photos, just the same. It actually makes me feel better to know that someone with such a beautiful garden as yours encounteres some of the same pest & hardships as I do. Not that I'd wish them on you though! :)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290025777828410837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-21649402919890620712011-06-24T20:11:48.822-05:002011-06-24T20:11:48.822-05:00Wow!
