Well, yes, I'm hardly ever organised enough to stake things when they need it. I usually end up getting down and under and heaving the thing up on my shoulder while balancing a stake on my outstretched shin and holding a piece of tying string between my teeth. It's usually at this point that my glasses fall off into the undergrowth.....
jatnikapyar. Widgets are balls found in cans of larger to make them froth when opened. Not sure if they still put them in the can as I saved mine a couple of years back. They come with a hole in and off course, you need to drink the beer first before you can get at the widget.
Having a bar-be-cue and supplying the beer is the quickest way to collect them. A good time is had by all and you have a good supply of widgets
I have been poked in the specs more often than I care to remember. I am the despair of my optician. Actually, his are crocodile tears because he makes a fortune out of my stupidity.
As for growing things, I've grown a lot of things in my time but balls, never. Nor am I ever likely to try. More than happy to be a member of the gentler gender.

I saw a simple solution recently. Large snail shells popped over the top of the cane.
Ask permission of the owner first, of course.
Chicky- love the little owl. Can you remember where you got it?
