Re: Re:labels

Hello,

Did you try to laminate the label?
    I have some laminated labels in my greenhouse and they last for two
years already. I don't know how much longer they can last. All I did is cut
the picture out of catalogue and laminate it with name of the plant. It
works.

Cheers,

Aunty Pear
