Finished potting on all the plant that needed it while waiting for their new home to be ready. Also potted on the 4 young asparagus, lemons, avocados and pomegranate. Sown seeds.

Sad

Are you feeling unwell with it? Hope you feel better soon. 

Rates of people testing positive are currently the highest they have been at any point. It's been bumped out of the news cycle by Russia/Ukraine. However, the good news is that the combination of vaccination and Omicron being a milder variant means that most people are having mild symptoms or feeling really quite rough but not needing medical care. The other good news is that your immunity is getting an extra boost right now, before any nastier variants appear!
Thanks Pros, feeling like sh**!
Hopefully you'll be feeling better soon. Such a shame to be ill while the weather is like this too!

Good! You’ll be able to tell us all which marker pens to buy(Please!)

I use these pens. Brilliant, last for ages. UV stable. Doesn’t wash off in rain.

Oh no, Danny, I hope you feel better soon. Rest. Then rest some more.

SC, I wish I had known - I would've gone for recommendations!

These are the two I've ordered:
https://www.markers-online.co.uk/products/garden-marker-pen?variant=389614450&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_campaign=gs-2018-12-11&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gclid=CjwKCAjwrfCRBhAXEiwAnkmKme_DecPB8kXKmWHjC1xuW980J8gJq8Vbqe-_XoTL0Cz1O9DK8TaY9BoCnGoQAvD_BwE
These ones use shopify for their website and for some reason it had my old address stored, but didn't show it to me, and didn't allow me to change it until the last stage before placing the order where it only showed me the billing address - I changed that to my new address, but it still sending my pens to my old house. The new residents there will be sick of me :/

The other ones:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08HYZXQKH?ref_=pe_27063361_487360311_302_E_DDE_di_1
These are the ones I've tried today. A bit too thick point for my liking, but the writing is deep black, and dries instantly when I write on plastic labels.

When I get the other ones (if I get them!), I will mark them differently on the labels so I can tell the difference.

Planted out 2 rows of leeks - still to do onions.

I use pencils and they are easier to clean and reuse the labels

Front and back grass cut this evening, first cut of the year, put all the cuttings around the base of the raspberries to keep weeds down and feed the soil.
