When craft shops were open I bought white polystyrene pretend eggs, they're probably available online They're used to make Easter or Christmas decorations. Can be painted with green fence paint or sprayed with paint to disguise them, they are easily skewered onto the tops of canes used as supports to protect your face and eyes....I too have had near misses in the past
I am enamoured of these. You can get designs of bluebells, roses, poppies, daffs etc at different heights. No good en masse, I guess, but sweet and last forever.
They look good @Ceres, may I ask where you got them from please? I've also tried glued imitation sea shells onto the tops of some metal spiral stakes I bought. Some came with rubber tips but some didn't (probably the cheaper ones).
Those wooden balls look good, great idea thank you @ceres

Thank you for helping me to spend my Christmas money. I have seen lots of things I like in that ebay shop and need an advance on next year's money now...🤣

@Topbird - I would always choose Ebay over Amazon etc, as Ebay take a fairly small commision and the posters get most. There are great second hand garden bargains to be had.
I hadn't found that particular seller before @fire - and I'm particularly liking some of the rusty stakes and copper pots... Anyway - that seller is now saved as a favourite so I can go shopping when I find the odd penny down the back of the sofa!

I'm forever denting my swede on projections and stuff that sticks out... Old tennis balls work for me. Cut a slit in them, give them a squeeze and pop em over your offending dangerous bits and hey presto
