RE: Economical labels

I use plastic 6-pack seed starting cells.  I use masking tape and permanent
marker right on the side.  Lesson learned- all pepper seedlings look alike.
Last year, I transplanted hot, sweet and ornamental pepps into individual
containers, THEN tried to label them.  Got it all wrong.  Ornamentals ended
up in garden, Corno di Toro (frying pepper)ended up in windowbox (then fell
of the deck in high wind and crushed).  Very disappointing.
