    That's what I hoped :) And actually it's easy enough just to tug out and dispose of the extra bits should you not need them.

    Got to Allotments yesterday, but the rain followed me, it was intermittent but became too persistent to continue. Only managed to dig parsnips, pick a few sprouts and some Kale. The winter salad in the greenhouse is still producing well, desperate to get on but too wet for a while yet.

    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.
