danger-is-in-the-garden
I always wear the plastic gardening, clog-type shoes, no matter what I am doing. I cringe at the thought of anything bitting my toes, let alone chopping them off! I now wear a round necked T-shirt as one time when I was gardening, I came in to make tea and felt a tickle. I was still feeling a tickle a couple of hours later and looked down my top. A huge spider had survived my itching! Yak!

Must admit Smokin I wouldn't want to look at a tennis ball amongst plants, but I did save wine corks, before most became screw top, and used them. I also have little green plug like stoppers to use.
At one point I did consider a blob of plasticine..but it's that long since I've seen any and not sure if I've even spelled it correctly.
Sudden flash
wonder if a ping pong ball painted ...no forget it...not much protection...
Looking forward to reading subsequent posts.
And who would eat all the cake?
Little spongy balls are good - the tiny ones in different colours. Also, in the past I have used Red Nose Day noses with pirate faces on.
Other dangers in the garden are toxiciity of many plants - I was surprised when I looked at a toxic plant list, after I had a serious reaction to a Nicotina plant.
Not all plant sellers label correctly - so now I check the list and never garden without gloves.
Anybody in your household drink those little yoghurt drinks? The containers slip over the top of canes - and they are free!!
Widgets fit snuggly ontop of canes, and if you drill a few more holes in them they can be used as the joints for netting cages
What is a widget please,Zoomer44? I do use pingpong balls(cheaper than tennis ones.) I used to use camera film spool containers but like wine bottle corks they are hard to come by now.But I do agree, I have had quite a few close shaves over the years but luckily still have my eyes intact! We don't realise how dangerous our gardens are.
It's one of the few benefits of wearing glasses.
Another of the benefits is that I can see what I'm doing
and never staking anything
