Donna, I don't know why I don't have problems w/ mosquitos, especially since I live in mosquito central. I have purchased mosquito dunks but have not needed them so far. Husband thinks it's possible that the small size of the container may have something to do with it.

The other day my little dog was watching me fix the pot in preparation for pics. He watches my every move so I guess he noticed I was inspecting my water lily rhizome. So what does he do? When I wasn't looking, he took it out of the bowl to play with it. I found it and put it back. He did it a 2nd time. I found it and put it back. The third time, I watched him go to the pot, watched him grab the rhizome and right then I yelled the loudest NO you have ever heard. It scared the fur off my baby and probably scared everyone within earshot. But guess what: Has not touched it again. Hee hee.

He doesn't usually mess with plants, but he is quite the imitator. For example, if he sees me digging, the following day, w/o fail, I will find a dug out spot, right next to where I was. Here is the "innocent" one.
