Oh man, don't even mention this to me. I keep my CPs under a wire mesh
during the winter to keep birds & squirrels from digging in the pots. I took
my plants out of their dormancy under wire the last weekend and put them
out in the front yard where they get the most sun. It took a bird 2 days to
find my big pit with Sarracenia and my lone Drosera in it. Birdy went
a-digging and the Drosera disappeared even though I sepnt about 30 minutes
combing through the shredded peat and sphagnum left behind. Next day I found
that the bird has built a nest in the pot just like it did last year.
Sheesh. I don't mind sharing my pot with birds but I wish they'd be neater
neighbors.
