RE: weatherproof

Good info.  I'll have to check them out, Kitty.  Who was the vender again?

I noticed that the commercial markers I put in the ground when I did fall
planting last year have ALL heaved out of the ground.  UGH!  I worried that
all that freeze and thaw may have done some damage to some of the plants,
too.  Time will tell.

Blessings,

Subject: [CHAT] weatherproof

It's balmy this am so after crossing the street to get my paper, I took the
long way back, returning via the back door so I could view the crocus and
iris, and check the progress of the Hylotelephium, oriental poppies, and the
Colchicum.  Then I noticed the test markers I put out last fall.  Chris L
steered us to a website offering supposedly weatherproof inkjet labels.  I
contacted the company and asked for a sample; they were quite generous. 
Well, the black ink on these labels is as dark and readable as the day I put
them out there and they've been through -20F temps, heavy snow, lots of wind
and rain.  They aren't cheap, but not overly expensive either, considering.
