"Gardening is not a rational act.
What matters is
the immersion of the hands in the earth,
that ancient ceremony
of which the Pope kissing the tarmac
is
merely a pallid vestigial remnant."

They originally had fishing wire, which I do not own. I considered using dental floss but didn’t want to waste it; plus, I use the cinnamon one and I didn’t want the red color. Instead, I used green wreath wire that I use to make my Christmas spiders. There were florist spikes in place that had completely rusted so I carefully removed them with gloves and then reused them.
I have jokingly added some steps.
Step 1: get a tetanus shot.
Step 2: Google search How to replenish an old topiaryStep 3: ignore their suggestions
Step 4: dig up moss from the yard
Step 5: Channel your inner crafter
Really, I cannot tell you how it came together. I formed the moss into a ball and tucked dirt inside. I’ll try to keep them watered. At least now that I’ve refreshed them, I won’t wait so long to tend to them when they do dry out.
Fantastic job! What garden couldn't be enriched by a moss bat or two?
