<< 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. >>

For those of you with beds edged with landscaping timbers (as many of mine
are) I have found the easiest way to beat dogs, frosts, weed-eaters, kids,
and tillers is to screw the metal label down to the timber.  The labels I use
are designed with four holes in them to hold them on a stake.  I buy the
label only and take my cordless drill out to the garden and voilla!! I have
permanent labels.

P.S. Charlies Brother-p labels really do look great!!
