I'm giving up with vegetables this year too, they're too much work for me now. I'm going to grow cut flowers in my raised bed where I used to grow vegies, but I may put a few onion sets in between them

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.

Hi @Beatts , yes, absolutely doable by yourself. I love the AI suggestion, it looks like a splat from a cartoon and fun , a modern take on traditional elements.For a more natural and therefore perhaps more forgiving shape, I'd soften the curves and give them a purpose i.e. curve around a...

Royal Bumble is a good one too. Dyson’s don’t stock this or any of the Lips series unfortunately. Other less well known varieties can be borderline hardy and require winter protection so be sure to check the RHS hardiness rating.
