For the obsessive-compulsive, you can have easy-to-read detailed labels. You can even add data when you planted the plant - do it on the back side of the metal.. <br /><br />fwolfe@arthritis-research.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-53406097015798441562010-09-27T13:18:08.865-05:002010-09-27T13:18:08.865-05:00Hey Professor,

So, I got this going in my yard. They are cheap, easy to make and last a long, long time. I did a blog about it: http://thecitrusguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/tag-youre-it.html<br />Hope this helps.<br />DarrenDarrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174646683640212162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-85711117777375180192010-09-15T12:54:15.547-05:002010-09-15T12:54:15.547-05:00Aieee, labels!

One year I tried using large wooden labels in my veg garden, where normally I can't even get the name to last over summer. I spray-painted the label first with white or yellow paint, then wrote on it with a sharpie marker. Worked pretty well, but the label needs to be repainted every year and I got lazy. Sigh. Let's all keep trying, and report back.<br /><br />Enjoying your blog, BTW. My sister is newly relocated to Kansa but do I ever hear anything about her garden? noooooooo. So I will enjoy reading yours instead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239798951473493987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-9238533639596325222010-09-14T09:42:23.117-05:002010-09-14T09:42:23.117-05:00LOL.

It’s a gene programmed in to aggravate parents…In a gardener’s child it’s manifested by a strange urge to shuffle the names of daylilies and irises.ProfessorRoushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827625019371233145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-59289773269903538032010-09-13T19:31:47.819-05:002010-09-13T19:31:47.819-05:00When you get this figured out, let me know!

The oldest of mine are now in their third year, and they show almost no sign of fading.<br /><br />If you really want to go uptown with your labels, check out the ones from AAA Quality Engraving in Louisiana. I have a bunch of these in the garden and they look great!Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.com
