Mine were just eye-balled, guys, I have never measured them and
when I cut them , I just guess. Mine are *never* 10" though....
we don't get the thaw, freeze cycle most of you experience. We just
stay froze. :) However, I did have one or two of these markers heave
in April but not all the way out. They just sort of wiggled around
and were tilting. Some of my markers are shorter than 5" and some
are longer....give yourself enough space to write your info - I use
both sides and I still like my trusty laundry marker but use a
Sharpie on occasion. (different colors for different classes)
Donald, I hope you listen to Walter since he is more in your neck
of the woods....
Have to go water my garden...unusual for up here. I join the rest
of the list weather-wise for a change.
Cheers,
Ellen
