Re: Thermal label maker--And blind slats

I stick my Eon markers down to the ground, close to the plant.  Most
perennials then hide the label.  I label them because I'm worried someday my
old brain won't recall the name, not really to identify the plants to
visitors.  So it really doesn't matter that much even if they were black on
orange in my garden.
