Go over to the Garden JUnk forum and ask the the gals and guys there for ideas. They are a creative and talented bunch of folk. Freecycle it on your local freecycle chapter. It's free and easy http://www.freecycle.org/ Offer it to a local 4H group or even an elementry school teacher. How about making a hammock or 2 for yourself. Nettings of most sizes make nice hammocks. If it is a tight small spaced netting maybe make a few reusable tote bags for beach use, sand shakes out so nice from netting... shopping, no need for you to take paper or plastic to send to a landfill.... gifts for friends I wish I had seen this earlier in the month. I hope these suggestions aren't too late. Here is a link that might be useful: national freecycle site

Give it to either a local school or a theater company.... it makes great scary farbic for theater sets.

Scrumbling!! Also known as Freeform knitting and crochet. You can make wearables out of it or throws or tea cozies or dolls... it's artistic, and you can't go wrong because you make it up as you go. Basically, you take an armload of yarn bits that sortof go together and do a few rows of stitches, then add a color and do something else, add a color and try some lace or bobbles, add a color, turn it sideways and do some rows of crochet. Add a color, turn it again, and try one of those funky crochet flowers, etc. Add a bead or two. It looks REALLY cool, especially with the different textures of yarn and all the colors. Plus you can try a bit of edging or a leaf or two from Knitting on the Edge, or whatever you've been dying to try and haven't figured out a whole project to do it in yet. If you're like me, you end up with a lot of the same complementary colors, so for once, having a bunch of scraps and half skeins is great. Here is a book on it: Freeform Knitting and Crochet by Jenny Dowde I got the book at my library, and it has really great color pictures in it of all the projects: scarf, a couple of little handbags, attached collar for a coat, a neato vest. In the back there are instructions and suggestions for different elements to make to add to the 'scrumble' - a fan, different little flowers, a leaf or two, attached strips. There's crochet stitches too - tassels, bobbles, and lots of ideas. It's kinda fun to NOT know where you're going with it, and just play with shapes and colors and textures and see where you end up. Test and idea. There's no wrong size, no 'what row am I on?'. And if there isn't a "wrong", you don't have to rip it! Here is a link that might be useful: Scrumbling

If this is their second year, they should form flowers and yield seed heads. They will start to pop up in the spring like a first year leek, but later form the flower scape. They form stiff stems, but can get rather tall. If you want to keep them to grow out for a seed harvest in the fall, be sure to tie or stake them up as they get taller and before they start falling over.
