ge, loved your smilebox. Your containers are gorgeous. Do you move them as I do as the sun gets stronger in the high summer heat?

Some of my containers have not filled in yet, but they're the only things with color once the peonies and irises are done. Once the lilies and bee balm open, the dahlias will soon follow, and some of the containers will go to an eastern exposure. The biggest problems have been both bulbs/corms and small plants that are constantly being stirred up shortly after planting. For some crazy reason there is no end to the chipmunks and squirrels and that darn wabbit. I've tried blood meal, cracked pepper and more, but to no avail, but I still have the best control in containers.
