    Fat jabs are dangerous because they don't solve the problem. Some may lose weight but you need to change the mindset towards food in order to keep it off. Sadly today we seem to want a medication that stops our need to look into the underlying problems.

    I’d be surprised if Beth Chatto’s gardeners use slug pellets or insecticides :thud:. Birds tend to be vocal here in the morning and out looking for worms mainly early morning and at dusk. Sound for me also includes wind through the trees and swishing through dried grasses in winter.

    Plant labels

    I use pencil, then at the end of season I collect all the labels. The ones that didn't break from the light get washed (using sponge and soap), then I use eraser to clean whatever written.
