Hi Julie (et al)
This year I am trying labels made out of a vinyl paper that I got from
Horticultural Printers. It comes in 5 colors. I print it on my laser
printer, punch a hole in it and hang it from a wire stake in the garden.
If the print holds up (which I am told it will since the toner is bonded
to the vinyl), it saves all the trouble of painting stakes etc. Any way,
I'll let you know.
