GTOTM (Garden Tip Of The Month) - Plant Tags (stakes)

For many years the only plant tags I used - were cut up mini blinds.  Don't laugh - no expense involved!

Again I had friends and relatives saving their old mini blinds for me.  You can make them look professional if you take a siscors and round the tops off (no sharp corners) and then cut the bottom into a V shape that will be inserted into the pot to identify the plant.  They are a little wider than most of the standard ones you can buy so you have more space to identify the plant.  I typically use a Sharpie market to print the plant name on the tag so more space is better.

If you do buy tags at a nursery or farm/home center you should be able to get a pack of 50 6inch tag stakes for between $1.49 - $1.69, that's a good price.
