I have had the flu so I am behind on getting book reviews and other reviews posted. Please be patient with me as I get caught up on all those as well as get caught up on emails.

You will see many posts in one day until I get caught back up so I apologize in advance for overloading your feed reader.

Thank you for understanding.

Plant Markers for the Garden

One year I took frozen juice can lids and wrote on them the name of the plant for my herb garden. I got the idea after seeing something similar in a magazine.  I wasn’t about to pay the crazy price the company wanted for something I could easily make out of salvaged items.  So I showed the picture to dh and asked him to help me.  He punched a hole in the top near the rim and I used some old metal hangers to make the stake for them.  They were cute and cheap and made from recycled items. 

Here’s another idea on cute and cheap plant markers using aluminum cans – don’t buy sodas? No problem, scavenge a few from along side the road. 

Perhaps you’d rather not risk a sliced finger from the aluminum cans.  So maybe you have an old mini-blind that’s destined to be recycled into Mini Blind Plant Markers.

Old popsicle sticks make cute little garden markers as well.

What other items have you used to make garden markers out of?
