Dear Constant Reader,
Happy Friday! I hope you’re someplace cool today!
In tips past I’ve told you tricks that involve old stockings, like this one and this one. Here’s another! And it’s seasonally appropriate.
Stockings are useful gardening tools.
As you can see from the photo, I’m using an old stocking to support this pumpkin that has grown up the fence. The stocking, securely tied to the fence, will stretch as the pumpkin grows and the vine doesn’t have to support all the weight.
Stockings also work well to tie tomato plants to stakes without cutting into the stems.
Do you garden? Do you reuse stockings or other unlikely items?
