Linda, for sort term use, I recommend personal size envelopes. This year I
got creative and cut business envelopes into three pieces and taped up the
cut sides. Doesn't take as long as it sounds. The envelope is easy to write
the name (or number) of the cultivar on.
I carry all my 'stuff' in a large zip lock baggie so the envelopes fit in
there nicely, along with my tags and other 'stuff.' I've tried the little
containers with the handle, but keep going back to the baggies. Sometimes
the scissors or tweezers punch a hole it it, but it's not that hard to get
another. It's easy to tell if I have everthing without opening the bag.
