Labelling plants

Its printed on the roll of paper that comes with it and yes both the label stays adhered and the ink isn't at all faded.

I know I have told this story before. Working in heavy construction and working away a lot plus rare occurance of days off and a fine Easter weekend I got stuck into my garden and eventually sowed lots of short rows of stuff like salad stuff, spinach and also seed rows for cabbage, brussels, leeks, etc to plant out later.
I labelled them all, about 40 rows in all but no back up notes. I went back to work and in the meantime my youngest daughter (then about 5 now she is 30) played Postman Pat with all the labels and a row of cold frames - delivering the little white "letters" with writing on in each little "house".
I learnt a lot about newly emerging leaf shapes that year.
Back up notes/diary is a must. Labels fade on trees and shrubs as well so I have a master map of the garden with variety names for all fruit trees, bushes etc as well as routes of cables and any obstructions in the ground I have come across but can't remove.
Another quick tip - if you have broadly similiar stuff use different pots so chillis might be in square pots and capsicums in round ones in the propogator.

I cut a four pint milk bottle into 2.5 inch long by .5 inch wide strips, make a point at one end, and use a permanent marker., They cost pennies each year (that's for the pen, and if I'm really feeling the pinch, I use them again the following year...

You can get about forty good ones from each bottle!

It's the sort of pastime to while away the long dark winter months, and the evenings just fly by..;0)

I have lots of different coloured labels and I put all of one colour into the pots with the same type of seeds (I do it mostly to show different varieties of tomatoes) and I just then keep a note of which coloured label is which type.  It should work for other vegetables that look similar when the seed leaves appear e.g. different types of brassicas.
