There is an amazing abundance of nettles at the moment.
Then I suddenly realised Spring has sprung. I have Jack by the Hedge, White Dead Nettle, Fat Hen, Dandelions in plenty. I can make those leaves tenderer by putting a pot over them as they emerge. And so much more stuff.
I can do a lot of eking out with the stuff I have with this. Still be able to have fresh stuff without going to the shops.
Might be safest to make your own masks

You have no idea of the quality of what you might be ordering in this day and age with all the scams.
I do have a proper N95 mask, but I only have that because an American online friend was in the middle of the wild fires a couple of years ago, and she said she bought a disposable mask. But I was unsure, looked at American sites and they said N95 was the only effective one. She was actually easily able to get one at the time after I told her, and I thought I would order one for myself at that time, never dreaming that I would actually be needing it.
From when I did wood working, I had quite a few disposable dust and builder's masks left over from that. I have them in the house now (from the garage) in case I might cobble something from them.
There are you tube videos on how to make masks. While not as effective as a N95 mask, it is probable they could offer more protection than not actually wearing one.
One more thing. I do have swimming goggles, and builder's clear protective safety goggles. But that is a step too far for the general population in this area. I have very dry eyes, and need to wear them to try and keep moisture in my eyes, in hot weather. And any attempts to wear them in public in previous years (way before coronavirus) was met with ridicule (I can deal with that), or some very upset people, and that included my friends, one of whom pulled them off my head because it upset her , me wearing to these clear safety goggles over my eyes, and at the same time dislodged my cochlear speech processor, which she ended up trampling on and breaking (I refused to see her again).
So, I only wore them at home. But then I realised I had wraparound sunglasses which went over my normal glasses, and one dark pair was a particular snug fit.
I wore these when I went out shopping yesterday, and no one batted an eye with me wearing them not did they comment. So, I was able to protect my eyes pretty well without attracting undue attention.
It's just a thought that many of you might have wraparound sunglasses which may be better than not wearing anything at all on your eyes.
