What would you do with these (Revealed)

One of my allotment neighbours has had a few trees cut down and was left with all the small branches. (the tree surgeon kept the logs )gr:

He was just going to burn them all but I said I would take some.
So this pile and many others are going to become something on my allotment.
Can you guess what? :-D

I will reveel all tomorrow

Pea sticks>

I think some will become wigwams for growing peas and beans up, and some are gonna get woven into a hurdle or fence panel type thing.
Or a giant game of pick-up sticks :-D

Mine would be helping themselves.

Followed by the chooks spreading them about.
They don't like piles.

Sorry but I can't take all of the credit, Kathryn (6 yrs old) built a wig wam out of bamboo when she was watching me collect the branches she asked are you going to build a wig wam daddy :-D

and it was one of those eureka moments )t'

Although I was going to build frames to cover some of the veg beds.

Fantastic, I'm going to have to build something at some point, might pinch your idea. I'm collecting old net curtains for my cover, just need the wood now.
