    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.

    Help With Growing Seeds

    Tomato seed varies in price widely. F1 seed I have costs around £3.99 for 8 seeds where as open pollenated seed can be half that price for about 50 seeds.
