Just a word of warning to those who haven't had a tetanus jab lately.
Please keep up to date! Those working with sharp implements and/or

Ths is very well, or perhaps not, but your husband got bitten by your
own dog and therefore didn't get infected by soil. But, he is a
nursery man, working with soil all the time. How truly bizarre to give
such a warning to gardeners who are, I very much suspect, up to date
with their jabs, I know I am - 4 years before the next one - and not
look closer to home?!

You have set me thinking.... I've never had a tetanus jab in my whole life
!!
I worked on farms, with horses, pigs, various crops etc and never thought
about it.
Do you think it's essential for home gardeners /
