printable plant tags
Comments (13)We struggled with plant labels as we grew. We did hand printed, then got an adjustable type stamp and water-proof ink (which was not very sucessful) then found the golden ticket. There is a company called Online Labels that sells waterproof inkjet labels that work like a dream. The labels stick great and the printing stays on and readable even when wet (there are some pot stickers outside now that have been there since last spring and still look great. We use OL25 for plastic plant stakes - the labels are 1/2" tall and 1 3/4" long and fit perfectly. They have free templates on the website for Word and several other programs. They worked so well that we now are using the same type of labels on our cider jugs (albiet in a much larger size). One trick I have found is to change the print quality setting on your printer to draft. On normal print my printer put out too much ink and the labels had to sit overnight and dry but in draft they did not.

Comments (54)Thanks Josephine. Maybe somebody here in this city needs to start a hosta business. But I don't have the money or the space for that. And being in Saskatchewan a short growing season, it wouldn't profit much for me......BUT wait...I like your idea of splitting mine and making a few dollars, but again these are hostas!!!! I can't even give them away to my sisters!! LOL. I was actually thinking of doing this with the daylilies to tell you the truth, or try too, but I've got so much work to do around here I never get to that part. I was going to advertise daylilies on texting to everybody I know and then on facebook......who knows...See MoreUnobtrusive plant tags to mark ephemerals
Comments (10)If you just need a marker and not the name of the plant, you can use golf tees to mark plants so that you don't plant on top. I keep telling myself to do this each spring, and by the time I get around to it, many have disappeared for the summer. Then I end up planting on top of things. Ha, ha! At least cutting a Trillium rhizome just means two smaller plants the next year. And people also use plastic knives, which can be written on and also come in black. If you don't have a device that prints labels, you can write on black with silver permanent marker. Have I done this? No, but many friends do. I am just always surprised each spring when things come up too close to each other. Ha, ha!...See MoreLost plant tag...what is this??
Comments (6)They are nasturtiums as everyone else says. The seedlings are completely unmistakable. If you winter sowed only a month ago there was no reason to give up so quickly. They only germinate in warmer soil temps - 70f is optimal. These self sow all over my allotment but they don't appear until well into the Spring....See More- 11 years ago
