    Hi guys. I've been in the garden all day. I have mine in 2 spots. One in shade and one in sun. They do great in both spots.

    C and M, you should have your goodies today.

    M, I received mine yesterday and it is already planted on a garden just to the back of my French doors about 20 feet. Thanks.

    Barb--I just received your Octopus today!! Thank you! Now I will just have to find the right spot....I want to keep it away from the other campanulas in case they interbreed.

    Barb, I was so dissappointed when I looked in the mail box...nothing but junk mail. SO I went back to weeding. My dear husband came walking back from the neighbors house and here the package had been delivered there. Must have been a substitute driver. Our regular one would have never done that.

    Thank you thank you thank you.!

    I have a special beach umbrella for this purpose. 20 years old and tattered beyond belief, but it works. Just a bit unsightly.

    Ok. Enough with anon. I have found the camera. Here is my very tattered Plant Sun Protector, better known as an old beach umbrella.

    This is what it is protecting!! An octopus! ( photo / image / picture from Cayuga Morning's Garden )


    Seriously though, I highly recommend the old Sun Plant Protector if you are going to be moving plants mid season.
