Very interesting...I didn't know pine needles were used for that. I'll bet it looks pretty too. How ingenious!
Looking forward to pictures.

Thanks Rhonda,Sherri, and everyone.
Alee, I hope you don't mind I gave you credit for being the first correct guess, on my site with a link to your site. I suppose I should have mailed you a bale of pinestraw for first prize. lol...
You can never have enough friends.
Please come and sit a spell with me at Life on a Southern Farm

| Well, i must admit I was truly mystified by your creation. I thought it might be a mini catapult that you could move around, but that didn't seem like much of a moneymaker. One summer my husband and I planted a really big garden and we made the mistake of planting zucchini. We had lots of little ones and then a day or two later they were the size of huge cudgels. We were thinking maybe we should build a catapult and fling them across the road to the neighbor's cows. That was the year we had a bumper tomato crop as well. I had put wax paper hats on my plants so they wouldn't freeze ( we sometimes get freezing weather in June) and I didn't realize you were supposed to take them off, so they sat on there for a couple of weeks. When i finally thought it was safe to take them off, my tomato plants lookied like they'd been taking steroids. We got so many tomatoes that year we were hiding bags of them in friends' cars when they came to visit. I canned a lot of them and then put all the green ones wrapped in newspaper in the back hall to ripen. I thought we'd done all of them, but in March I spotted a box of tomatoes in with the canning equipment in the back hall. I figured they'd be a real mess but when I opened the newspaper there was just black dust in each one, I guess I mummified them...well I better close my mouth and get to work, I hope the sun is shining on al of you today too, karin |
