And of course one has to remove the seeds from the stalk, and what better way than the one you describe, Hermione? You'll want a drop cloth to catch them. <br /><br />And Poppy, what else would one expect from something that looks so switchy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-86511923515970623132010-06-27T06:25:02.169-04:002010-06-27T06:25:02.169-04:00It looks far too beautiful to make a rod out of.

It clearly bats for both sides. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
