I thought it might be worth noting down what I did last week, day by day. Although I didn’t feel as if a lot got done, seems it did!

I'm exhausted just reading that!

Out of interest, which string(s) did you get?

Here you go - String on Ebay

Hi a busy week for you, bet you could have done without the drains issue.
I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time last year when someone donated a huge roll of baler twine to the garden club & a donation of cash secured it for me  . What clips do you use for your tomatoes please as I ‘just’ wind them around the string, but they do snap occasionally in doing so!

I'm afraid the drains are very prone to blockage - but the cost of replacing them .....

Yes, I got fed up of snapping the leader by accident. My first lot of clips were good quality and last for at least 4 seasons mainly. Now all I seem able to get are the cheaper ones and 2 seasons is doing well for them. There are biodegradable clips but minimum was 500
These are the beasties  - shop about to save a few pennies

Thanks John, shame they are plastic again & I feel that about my twine too, but I’m hoping with care it will last a while though
