| Wooden Post Andrewo Support for bird table ? Centre pole for inverted wigwam for Runner / French Beans ? If no shed for comfrey drainpipe, attach drainpipe to post ? Firewood ? Throwing at neighbourhood cats ? Flattening slugs ? The possibilities are finite ! Rat |

| I'm surprised the Scotsman did no tell you to run, carrying it vertically, to the bottom of the garden and then throw it.

| Hope to see you at the Bonsai Caber Tossing at the Black Isle Show this year! Is that a winter or summer sport?! |

| Yeah, know how you feel. I'm itching to get going and start the season, but it's bloody hard when you've got 18 inches of snow - and it's still snowing as I type this - looks pretty (18" of snow hides a multitude of things round the garden) but bloody annoying Rat |

| No snow here. Yesterday had to reattach the rest of my auto vents in my greenhouse. Temperature rose to 30 degrees in early morning. Now I've opened up my big mouth we more than likely will get snow.  Jax |

| 30 degrees ? Hope you had sun block on ! You still work in old money then ? The only thing I know about the two scales is that 16 Centigrade is reversible to make 61 Farenheit. Rat |

| And -40 F = -40C !!! I could quite expect you would experience 30C in the greenhouse. Not been to ours today, but it was mid 20'sC last weekend by midafternoon.Temps plummited once the sun whent down. No wonder the peach tree is starting to open its buds!  |

| The snow has now cleared around us, a few patches left but it is still threatening us. I think I may make a bird table with the post.

| you won't get much seed on top of 3"x3" Andrew Only joking as usual. Excellent Idea, it was on Rad4 this morning that the population of Goldfinches have risen and it's due to people putting bird seed out - little sods never come to mine !!! I've had a fat ball out for ages & it's unpecked

| I think one of the problems is I live close to 200 acres of mixed woodlands, and they have plenty of food there. I actually took the seed feeders fown earlier on so I could bout them to soak and get the old seed out that had gawn orff as they say south of watford. My friend (yes I do have one) is like you and gets through loads of fat balls & about 10lb of seed a week and had something like 40 species when he did the bird survey earlier on last month. I had about 4 !!! Makes you want to spit doesn't it.

| I'm going to make it so the post is fixed and I can use to net my fruit and then notch so I can put a board on top in winter to feed them. Like so, leaving the post roughly 4' high.
