My garden is heaving with spiders, sorry to hear headwreck's sister threw her nests in the bin - I've always believed that spiders live in a happy home, so my home's certainly happy. The garden has ones with webs, and little skittery black ones, and quite big ones living over the compost bin where they catch lots of flies. I regularly get at least two little nests in the shrubs each year - the baby ones are so sweet, perfect tiny spiders. I don't understand spider phobia - I like 'em.
