Hand pollination - bunny's tail
"Mike Lyle" wrote in message .. . "Alan Holmes" wrote in message ... "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. I've always used a small paintbrush and it has always been succesful. It occurs to me that if Keith can't get a real rabbit's tail and doesn't like small water-colour brushes, then an up-market cosmetics department will be able to sell him a very fat (about 3/4 inch in diameter compressed) stubby soft brush intended for make-up. Pricey, I imagine, but my ex had the same good-quality one for about twenty years. Water-colour brushes themselves come in various sizes, too: I bet you can get one half an inch thick. -- Mike. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Mike-That's awful. Not only have you mentioned the R*** word but you have incinerated that your ex wife needed "Polyfilla" type makeovers. |
