Susan makes a great addition and will find her own usefulness, even if it's not scaring anything away. ; )encantadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256268616581865212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-88508480648507435622008-08-21T09:44:00.000-05:002008-08-21T09:44:00.000-05:00I agree that "scary susan" is too cute to be scary...I agree that "scary susan" is too cute to be scary!! I was going to suggest grasshoppers too (about your KK) because they are doing some serious damage to my plants right now.

I h...Hey Shady,<BR/>I too hope she scares off the bugs! I hate to say it, but your KK does look pathetic and miserable, through no fault of your own, of course. I also thought grasshoppers might be the culprit as well, because I saw more than a few of those nasty munchers when I was weeding last weekend. When they go after Zinnias, they can really decimate a poor plant. <BR/><BR/>I have to chuckle at your constructed garden friends (they make me smile in a good way) ... have to say the only one we put out during the year is our Punkinhead Dude who goes out before Halloween. We put light sticks in his head at night so he glows, and the kids love it when they trick or treat. :-)Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-68277039790442634032008-08-20T13:29:00.000-05:002008-08-20T13:29:00.000-05:00Susan is too cute to be scary but maybe cute will ...Susan is too cute to be scary but maybe cute will scare the pests away!<BR/><BR/>Not a flower or bud in sight on my Kopper King!

I wonder if your KK is getting attacked by Japanese Beetles? My Rose Sharon is a JB magnet, it's so disgusting. They attack the flowers even before they open.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.com
