    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.

    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.
