When I would be watering all the containers I have at the end of our side entry driveway, a PM would always climb above to the top of the plant stems. I knew I needed to move him/her to somewhere else, since I didn't want a Hummer becoming lunch or dinner Crying Blinking (most, if not all, the plants are attractive to Hummers).

Last night, I finally was able to remove the PM! Hurray! I gently knocked it off to the ground with the long watering wand I was using and then, as it was trying to climb up the containers to the plants, I used a snow shovel and ice scraper to scoop it up in the shovel and carry it to a section of grass away from my flowers that the Hummer would be visiting. Hurray! Thumbs up

Hope I don't see it again around my Hummingbird flowers!

Hummingbirds are beautiful flying jewels in the garden!
