Re: Labels

Barb:  I wish you better success with the plastic pieces of Venetian 
blind than I had.  Pushing them into the ground till they are almost 
covered is something I never did, but what a pain when you have a 
lot. Mine either became brittle and cracked or were heaved out of the 
ground by the severe winter freezing/thawing.  I found it worth the 
cost to buy metal markers.  Saved so much weeping, wailing and 
gnashing of teeth in the spring.  Also the commercial markers are 
taller and thus easier to read, especially if one puts some kind of 
printed label on them.  I use a labelmaker with the Dymo plastic 
tape, and I find that if I use ONLY black tape they hold up without 
fading for several years.   It most likely makes a difference what 
one's weather is, both winter and summer.
