All you need are sticks (8-10″), a potato peeler/knife, and a fine felt tip pen! Really, for the rest of your life this is all you are going to need – no plastic, no $$$ fancy tags, no disintegrating popsicle sticks…
A few tips:
- Let the sticks dry out a bit before peeling
- You can re-use these year to year– just peel again, and again, and again
- Eat more veggies ;]
many thanks to Martha Stewart for the original idea!

Thanks! It truly is one of my favorites, every yr I would have the same dilemma, I hated to buy any more plastic and I couldn’t bring myself to splurge on the metal tags- so I came away with nothing! Funny how life gets sometimes 🙂 Hope your garden grows well.

I was just wondering how I was going to mark seedlings when I transfer them to the ground! I will probably do this 🙂
