  Bought a house with a greenhouse and I am the greenest thing in it!!

  Started some seeds and all are doing well, but in my zeal and moving
  the
  tender little sprouts I ended up with one tray that I don't know
  what it
  is...mystery plants!!  What I need are those little white label
  thingies.  Where do I get them and how much do they cost
  (ball-park).
  Checked at my local nursery and all the "marts" and can't find them.

 I have an idea for labels that might be interesting to the group.  I am
too cheap to buy real labels so, instead, I cut up white margarine
containers or white ice-cream tubs into long strips, similar to the
shape of the ones that you get when you buy plants in the store.  Then,
I use an indelible ink marker to write the name of the plant and any
other information I need.  If you are lucky enough to get a container
that is white on both sides, you have more space to write your
information.  They are not as classy as the ones you purchase, but they
fit my pocketbook!
