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?

Incidently, we have lived in a part of Dorset for many years where the 'R'
word (**bb**) is strictly taboo. It is believed this came about because
the animlas caused dangerous earth / rock falls around local quarries
where most villagers then worked.

Maybe you could get a replacement at a pet shop? They sometimes have real
fur cat toys....

Or maybe at a butchers shop that sells rabbit ?
