Default Hand pollination - bunny's tail


"Keith (Dorset)" wrote in message

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.


I've always used a small paintbrush and it has always been succesful.
