Default Hand pollination - bunny's tail


"Keith (Dorset)" wrote in message
news
When I was a boy my grandfather taught me to cross fertilise stuff

(can't
remember what now!) with a bunny's tail.

Having mislaid my forementioned tail (!) some years ago, I have since

tried
all sorts of small paint brushes for use with greenhouse-grown

melons... but
they just don't seem to be quite right for the job.

Any comments on this please?

Just make sure there's a penknife or good pair of scissors in the car:
you should have a replacement by this time next week.
