If you watch closely you can see Clancy(the rooster) pick off pieces of pear then toss them to his other fowl feathered friends 🙂 Just one of many jobs that a rooster has. Security detail, and feeding the hungry rank up there pretty high :)

I changed my mind about how I was going to use the twine. I’ve heard this method is called basket weaving. Tie to your first post, run your twine in and out of the plants wrapping around the poles as you go, then tie it off at the end and voilà. Do this again but weave the twine around the opposite side of the plants to create support on both sides. I’ll continue this method as the plants get taller. Wish us luck 🤣
