markers WAS Re: Spinach

Hi Kate


Another question - I've tried marking my plant stakes with a water-proof
black marker but it seems to wear off.  Labeled lots of my daylilies with a
marker and now I can't read them. I used those metal stakes and wrote with
the marker.  Any suggestions?  I probably will just start making metal
markers like my Dad did.  Have a tooling set and will start making plant
labels with this.   He would usually just take a thin piece of tin and
hammer the letters on the tin and nail it on a wooden stake. I still have
some of his markers.  Has anyone used this method for making plant markers?
I have been using paint pens for years - a fine line one does quite well. I stick to black; a few years ago my son wanted me to use red - flaked right off!
