Re tattoos, it’s always seemed to me as nonsensical as if I’d had myself permanently sealed into a pair of bell bottomed jeans when I was a teenager. Highly fashionable at the time....... At least piercings can be removed, unless they are the type where the hole has been stretched. One good thing about the current fashion though, I have a rather ugly group of broken veins on the front of my lower leg. I’ve bought some long life eyeliner and lip liner, and have been practising turning them into a temporary ‘tattoo’ in case I want to wear a skirt this summer.
Anyone else clocked the price of seeds this year. I know F1 varieties always cost more but £4.49 a packet for blight resistant tomatoes , and I bet there's no more than 8-10 seeds a pack. Trouble is there's no point growing ordinary one's outside on our Allotments now, not if you want any kind of decent harvest.Â
My old Pyrex jug has finally cracked. The measurements were Imperial and Metric ones, so I reckon it's got to be at least 30 years old if not more. Hope I can get another one, I still don't think in metric.
@Allotment Boy I had decided to give the garden a year without tomatoes following the huge losses to blight last year ... but I've caved in and ordered two blight resistant varieties from SimplySeed.co.uk
Crimson Crush which I've grown before and liked, and Losetto which are new to me. Both packs at under £2.50 for around ten seeds, which I think is pretty reasonable these days.Â

I haven't looked at tomato seeds this year. Still have some Sungold left as I didn't grow them last year, and lots of the Piccolo ones I gathered from the bought tomatoes. They were excellent, so I'll be saving more of those. I expect blight resistant ones may well be more popular this year though, as you say @Dovefromabove. Growing undercover helps, so it's the one benefit of living in a colder/wetter areaÂ

premier seeds are a reputable company, I buy almost all of my seeds from them.
