It's something I have done for the last three years and works a treat, especially as they appreciate the extra warmth. When their tassels have pollen on them, tap the stalks with a cane or something so the forming cobs will get pollinated - wear a mask and goggles though as it goes everywhere!
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Oh - I forgot - you need a shower cap, and one of those all-in-one white decorating cover-alls. You can have great fun writing something on the back of it with a felt pen, such as "Meet Polly Nator - I am the Bee's Knees!"  :tongue2:
