    Sadly they've gone way past that level around here - beside the damage to the environment beinc caused by the purchase of replacement vehicle parts, the danger to cyclists and motorcyclists is very real... when realised, puts further pressure on the NHS, which couldn't currently cope with a sneeze.

    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.
