Picture 1.Teasel babies easily removable from gravel..at the moment!
Picture 2.Slow off the mark this year, due to drought, but demonstrating 2 year's growth. Babies will shoot to 5-10 feet next year, attracting butterflies...and, over the following winter, goldfinches.
Picture 3.Still fun as perches around the bird table, in their 3rd year...and about to be used as sweet pea supports!
No picture. Final use, decorative, or, in short lengths, great for starting the fire!
Win - Win - Win - Win!
