Yes, I know what they are. There was an article in the Independent
today about how people now regard gardens as merely rumpus rooms
without roofs, but that is definitely a sign of Not A Real Gardener.
Seriously, don't wear clothes that aren't washable if you are going
to sit on patio furniture. In addition to those, there is blackbird
dung in blackberry (or blackcurrant) season, algae (not always easy
to see) and numerous other things.
