Like most gardeners, I like to start many of my plants from seed. It is much more economical than buying plants. Often you can find seeds for different and often more interesting plants than at the local garden center. I also often purchase unusual seeds on my travels.
One of the problems with starting plants from seeds is keeping track of which pot has which seeds. I have long since given up trying to label the containers with the whole name of the plant. Now I number my pots and keep a log of the plant names. I would write the number on a Popsicle stick and stick it in the pot. This worked out pretty well except for one problem: often the stick would turn dark and I could not read the number.

Well this year I think I have found a solution to my plant labeling problem and a use for those little plastic tabs you get on bread bags. I write the number with my never fade Sharpie on the bread tab and clip it to the pot.
They clip nicely onto those little seed starter cells and regular pots, too!
Have a fun day!
