Fruits and vegetables are sometimes sold in brightly coloured plastic mesh sacks with one end stapled and the top end closed with a twist-tie or small square of slit plastic. I've been saving them for planting my bulbs in when I get my bulb frame built. My collection so far: BC Hothouse tomatoes on the vine (which are sold as far south as California, and I don't know how far east) - green "knitted" mesh that is quite stretchy. Unstretched, the tube is 13 cm across (5 inches) I have diamond-patterned red mesh that is 23 cm across, heavier purple and yellow mesh, and small onion sacks (these are large compared to the others, but hold only a couple of kg of onions.) I guess you could eat your way to a collection, and colour-code your bulbs. If you have a big bulb collection, that could take a long time unless you ask all your friends to save bags too. The best would be to buy a big length of mesh tubing and cut the lengths to suit the number of bulbs. Anyone know a source? Diane Whitehead Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
