I got a phone call from Mel Bartholomew several weeks ago asking if I would be interested in test running a new product he is thinking about selling through the SFGF website.  Its a season extender type of product and it arrived at my home in two parts.  The first part is the actual material used to cover the garden which is the white bundle in the picture below.  I can’t describe what it’s made out of very well.  It is made in Australia and it’s not plastic.  It’s not a vinyl product either.  At a later date I will snap a picture of it and post it.  It’s very interesting material.  All I can tell you is that the inventor was thinking about a way to keep all those nasty white butterflies away from your cabbage and brussel sprout plants.  From the looks of it, I think he’s going to be very successful.  Not sure of price or when it may become available.  A few weeks later another box arrived-from Japan.  This had all the working parts which the cover will be attached to.  There are a lot of pieces in there, and I’m not sure where to start.

But, no worries!  Here’s the instructions that explain it all!

What’s that?  You can’t read it? That’s alright-let me give you a closer look

If anybody around here speaks Japanese I’m all ears.  As a matter of fact, I was just looking at the AWSTATS in my c-Panel and it shows that I actually had one visitor from the country of Japan!  So, if you’re reading this be sure to contact me. This reminds me of  past Christmas Eves-when I would be assigned to put together doll houses, bikes, other toys, etc. that would come with instructions that I could never read or that I couldn’t follow by the pictures they sent.  Or, they were missing one part that prevented me from trying to figure it out.  Like those days, I will get this-it’s just going to take me a while.  In all seriousness though, I think this one is a real winner.  Please comment if you could…happy New year to all….more to come…
