Plant labels

Im using some old silver venetian blinds cut up as labels right now.

 

I don't label anything in the garden . I have a schematic garden layout on Excel and location and plants are identified there . Seems to work OK. I have found that labels and sniffy Cocker Spaniels don't mix

 

@ARMANDII same here
Most of my labels say "waitnsee"

 

Having used various kinds of labelling over the years, I now use a Brother label printer and stick the print-out to the plastic label.

This way the labels can used over and over again.

 

Cor Mike, I used to use one of those a long time ago, and tried introducing it at the nursery where I worked. It was great, except that it took a long time to muck about making the stick ons. It was useful initially for the stock beds too.The big problem was that the labels were so posh, the customers used to pinch them, and in the end I just went back to pencils...... I wonder where I put the printer .....

 

I don't often label my plants, mainly seeds that I start off. Then I use a pencil.
I'm not very organised as a gardener and if anyone asks what a plant is, I say "Oh, no idea". I have a lot of those in the garden.

 

LOL would you like some of my "waitnsee" labels.... guess wat...Ive got loads of um!!! @pattie

Gail aka 'Sweeny Todd' lol

 

very much mate for the kind complement

 

Might I ask? Apart from sticking a label beside a plant. Do you take any other measure at recording your plant, where it is etc? For instance. I often number plant pots and keep a database. I could relate such a wonderful experience here, that include...wildlife in the garden, if anyone is interested.

 

Hi Mike...I was only joking mate with the above comment

I never stick labels any where near my plants as i'm a tidy freak but what you've mentioned do a discussion on it, there's no harm in it and you may get replies
