[lace-chat] Bobbin raffle
As I promised, another bobbin raffle, but this time allowing enough time for those who only get the digest. The prize is a pair of painted ebony midlands bobbins, by Chris Parsons, from his Beatrix Potter collection. One has Jemima Puddleduck and the other has Mrs Twiggywinkle painted on them. To enter please send me an email with the subject line "Arachne bobbin raffle", with your name and snail mail address. I'm posting this on 5th Feb and will make the draw on 1st March, which should give everyone who wants to enter plenty of time.

[lace-chat] How to get rid of perennial cornflowers?
My front flower bed is being over run by perennial cornflowers - and I want to get rid of them. They have a long tap root, which even if a smidgeon is left in the ground, will grow again. Any ideas for a relatively painless way to "treat" them so that they just shrivel up .. The main resaon I hate them is that they have razor sharp leaves that can slice your hands open if you're not aware :( Grateful for any advice.

Re: [lace-chat] How to get rid of perennial cornflowers?
We don't have cornflowers, but we do have dandelions. My DH uses cider vinegar on them. He started this late last summer, and we're curious how many come back this spring. He claims it also shriveled the blackberry vine that was trying to grow in the back yard. It's a bit early in his campaign to know for sure that it works, but it looked promising last fall. This product is cheap, and easy to get. You could try it without costing much except your time. Maybe it would work on cornflowers.

So how did he apply it? Linda, the string-a-holic in Oregon where the daffodills and primroses are starting to grow.
