comprising nourishing morsels intended to contribute goodness to the garden

   

contemplating a large pile of socks whose partners had gone to Jesus it dawned on me that such objects make quite handy strainers...before you reel back in horror and reach for a handy bucket let me offer reassurance...the juice of these cherries is not about to be consumed (unlike Mr Bean's lettuce leaves) but rather used to dye a sample for a friend (and near neighbour) who cultivates a cherry farm. the sock has the added convenience of being a squeezable object, so that maximum juice can be extracted.

travelling dyers considering experimenting with their socks as strainers are advised that removal of tiny fibrous fragments is tricky...perhaps a nylon stocking inlay would help as a preventative measure.
