Kizzy and I found a really nice teasel plant while we were out today, so we brought it home on the bike. (And yes, I know it's dead). Teasel is a biennial, that means it only lives for two years, during which time it flowers and produces seed for the next generation. We're going to give this one a new lease of life. BTW- Anyone know what teasel used to be used for (No googling) | Click to see full-size image. |
 Teasel - used to be used for something to do with catching Jays? |

 I was told a good few years back while living in Ireland, but I didn't believe it until now. Just googled to confirm though, so I can't answer...but gatters was kinda close.

Does Kizzy sit happily in that basket as you ride along?
Is she tied in at all or is she just dead good?

She's just dead good. She loves going in there because I always park the bike up somewhere and go for a walk. |

Correct Rod, but this time I'm just going to use them to attract finches. I don't have a call-bird now though, so I might have a bit of a palaver getting them started. |

Bugger - I said "Jays", I obv meant finches. The two species are, of course, near identical. |
