Re: Babiana odorata

I noticed the label in your pot.  Is it made from a slat from window mini-blinds? 

 

That is what I use for all my labels.  I use #2 pencil or a Brother Label maker for notes on the mini-blind.  So far this is the best I have found for durability, but I am always looking for something better. 

 

Is this what you do too? Or do you have another technique that works better for durable labels? 

 

I have moose stepping on them and Magpies pulling them out all the time.  I can cut them into many useful sizes with a point on one end and round the corners at the other end so that I do not cut my hands when weeding.  I prefer to not use the white ones because they show up too well in the garden (like miniature tombstones in spring) but I use what I am given.  I also like the recycling aspect of using otherwise trashed blinds.
