I made some coconut bird feeders using some old coconuts which i drilled through. Cracking them open took a little longer that used a few more tools, a hammer chisel and saw. The insides were done with bird seeds (obviously) and melted lard which you mix together. Big tip here feed your string through first with a twig on the end so it doesn't fall out, and make sure you fill up the hole before you but in the mixture i learned this the hard way, my lard went everywhere!
I left them in the fridge over night and they turned out really well, unfortunately no birds got them because the squirrel got them and the insides fell out and the dogs got them. So bad news for birds.
I painted a piggy bank and plan to use it as an honesty pot to put out with my gluts of vegetables which i will be getting. Yes i know i am overly hopeful.
The mystery squash revealed, this is the squash i grew from and unknown plant i got at a market and actually it is lovely i am going to be bold enough and say its nicer then butternut squash,it was that good. So i have saved some seeds ready to plant next year. I still don't know the name.
