Alternatively you can dis-assemble hairnets of course to act as netting for incredibly small soft fruit bushes....

They're only worn at night, Plum, and the flash on the camera has busted - sorry..;0)

I'm trying to picture Growster containing all his golden locks in the net   :lol: :lol:  (oops, there went a handful  ;))

The best one ever, is to use small pieces of green debris netting, cut them into circles about 1' 6" diameter and add a big rubber band round the edge, kept in place with a few staples.

It makes the perfect hairnet...;0)

Do you wear this whilst wandering around your tomato fest, slurping chianti and singing?  Please tell me you do!

I use all of our four pint milk cartons to empty my water butts into in the rainy season ( most of the year) store them in the greenhouse under my benches and use them once the butts run dry leave them empty in the winter and fill in the spring have about 200 x 4 pints loads of water!!!

When you say, "I feel I must make some attempt to keep my standards up", is that a new word for unmentionables, or your roses..;0)
