i hate tags and labels in the garden yself- but when one has a lot of diffrent thngs that one can not keep in the ind ( less and less each year it seems)  you need soe way to know what you have.  

i use a 1/2 or 3/4 inch wide white pvc piping, works great if you need a lor of roo to put down the name of the plant- wee it cae for and when you got it plus any other notes you need- cut the pices about 10 inches long a n stick the in the ground all the way.  the plants cove the pipes an if i need to go back and see what i have planted- i have just retrieve the pipe.  with a nursery marker they last 15 years so far.
