Summer is almost here! I have been anxious to get my plants growing. Last year, I attempted my first garden. I was very excited to try one this year but we decided to sell our house so I didn't want try it again. Instead, I have about 20 pots of varying sizes on our back patio. Most I grew from seeds and some others I haven't. And since I am growing most of my plants from seeds, I wanted little plant markers so I could remember what they are. Basically so I'm not eating a big salad of basil because I thought it was spinach.
I found a cool idea online to make garden tags out of broken mini blinds. We have a window above our bed and our cat, Homie, loves to sit there and we tried to train him to stay off of it but we gave up. Since we gave up, he has broken many of blinds. But it's a good thing I don't like to waste so I put the broken blinds to work!
All I did was take the broken blind and cut it to the length I wanted it. Then I used a sharpie to write what plant it was and stuck it in the plant.
They look simple and unified.
Grow watermelon, grow!
I'm hoping to use this lavender to make some homemade laundry detergent some day.
I hope this little trick helps in your organization of plants!
We did the same thing, both with a plastic white one when we planted seeds indoors, and then with a broken wooden one for outside!!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike ;-)
That's awesome! I never heard of anyone doing this! And here we are, 1000 miles apart doing the same thing! ;)
