I can totally see how tulle would be great, and if I got a darker color I bed it would make a good shade cloth for my lettuces in the heat of summer - you ROCK!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-8180236205160092752011-03-06T09:31:06.335-05:002011-03-06T09:31:06.335-05:00When I have trouble with birds getting into the se...When I have trouble with birds getting into the seedlings, I put out tulle instead of bird netting, because that's what I have. I use tulle instead of row-cover to keep out assorted parents-of-crop-eating-caterpillars, too. Seems to work just fine, and it's pretty cheap if you can wait for a coupon for the nearest fabric store.<br /><br />Good luck thwarting the birds!Amy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14108368551894382300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-86061553443452086952011-03-01T15:26:32.074-05:002011-03-01T15:26:32.074-05:00good suggestions, everyone!
Robin, I'm workin...good suggestions, everyone!<br /><br />Robin, I'm working on that pattern thing... I bought one for a simple tank sundress, but now I'm afraid to go any further :)<br /><br />Ribbit, those of us in the south always have to duck when we post those garden photos while everyone else is still stuck in the white stuff!<br /><br />Tiny, my neighbors already think I'm the crazy chick LOL<br /><br />Sparkless, those snakes make my birds laugh, too!

I have taken to chasing them down and making crazy noises to get them to go away (for a minute) and then the neighbors just look at me funny... Yeah... Birds are my arch nemesis!<br /><br />Lovely weather you are having!

I think they should quit regular torture emthods and just take terrorists and wrap them in the stuff and leave them in a room - they'll be singing in seconds! My bugaboo is the chipmunk. I plant my sunflowers, and they trail behind, eating the seeds.

When you're spreading the bird netting tomorrow, think of us doing it last fall over the apples trees to try to keep the blue jays from the apples. That was a job and a half!<br /><br />I've never used my mixer for bread although I always wonder if it would be a whole heckuva lot easier. Hope the bread was edible even though resembling hardtack!<br /><br />Your seedlings and little plants look WONDERFUL. So healthy.

I'll foil those darned sparrows yet! <br /><br />I'm already peeking at my seeds that I planted yesterday.

We had a 2 hour delay on school this morning due to ice. BAH! But it did get above freezing this afternoon (barely).<br />As for birds- my garden partner of years ago tied old bad CDs and DVDs up onto the trellis with fishing line. The random twirling and flashing seemed to work- at least a little.<br />Good luck with the bird battle.<br />JudyJudy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-3789368860209735962011-02-28T18:02:39.450-05:002011-02-28T18:02:39.450-05:00My goodness girl....your seedlings look wonderful!...My goodness girl....your seedlings look wonderful!!
