Robert, I think you should be very, very careful!

Do you think someone would notice a mature 12 foot flowering plant in my backyard?
It's all Graham's fault.......

May end up doing life in a cell with no chance of parole and making kilts for inmates....not sure if I'm liking that......
I think I will stick with my regular supplier of hemp.
Thanks Graham it was fun to receive in the post.

Yeah? So what seems to be the problem?

Oooo, I see the problem! It is the wrong kind of hemp.

I might guess at who sent it..........

Hemp has to be conditioned, or else it gets dusty.

Try giving any hemp product a good rub down with tea tree oil or avocado oil. Restores the supple nature and keeps it from drying out. This goes for the fabric to. You should never wash hemp with strong detergents or things that strip oils.

Hey, how is my hemp kilt going Robert? growing well??

Don't worry Hamish, I checked with local authorities before sending.

Phew! That's alright then, Gray. I was thinking that Tassie is a long way off for me to be a prison visitor.

Well we are in negotiation. A lot will depend on the yield, current market prices, pork belly futures.
Also looking at silk worms for the making of green tights that the client wants.
This is turning out to be a package deal.
Also part of the package is a Tasmanian Devil Sporran made from real Devil pelts. Braided Kangaroo leather belt, and Glenngary bonnet. He's going the whole 9 yds.
Let's put it this way...It's gonna cost him!
