Re: put a sock on it

Way to Go!! Sure looks like a good idea to me. I use women's hose for a 
different reason. When my wife and daughters get runs in their hose, they 
give them to me. Then when I get a pod going, I cover it with a nylon sock. 
It keeps the verbena bud moth from chewing holes in the pod and laying eggs 
in it, and if the pod opens before I see it splitting, all seeds are safe in 
the sock.
