It's something made, by the Princess Pat.
But I don't know any Princesses named Pat, and I was never a Girl Scout or whatever scouts sang that song. That didn't stop the song from running through my head the whole time.
But I did make this rig of bamboo. K-ster thinks it's a POW cell. My father hasn't said anything but I am certain he will say the same thing.
So, what is this?
It's my squirrel jail.
Oh, I only wish.
It's my new tomato cage. My sister has bamboo up the wazoo- oh, what a great name for a children's book!- so she let me have some last year. I made tee pee type things with them and saved the bamboo because it didn't rot.
This year, she gave me a buttload more, and this is what I've come up with. I really like it. Once I wove it all together, it became pretty sturdy. At first, it was like a comedy routine because I kept knocking over poles and undoing what I had just done. But, the more I wove, the stronger it became. I didn't tie any of it and hope I don't have to. I want to leave it au naturel. I did stick some pieces into the chicken wire to give it some stability at first.
I decided to do it my garden #2, but I ran out of bamboo, so now it looks completely ridiculous in there.
That's my Made By You Monday!
