Re: pumpkins DIGEST V1 #75

I felt bad that so many birds were flying into our picture windows; they eat
mosquitoes which try to eat use humans alive.  I tried tying ribbons to flap
in front of them to no avail.  I finally went out and painted with a
cornstarch/water mix and a 3" paint brush, great big 3-foot-tall scary faces
on them, with eyebrows like owls and scary-teeth wavy mouths, and haven't had
a bird hit one since.  Of course, all who come near the house think a witch
lives here, but what the heck.  We live in the country!

You might try some of these on your greenhouse.

cheers,
duchess of gladstone
