lol it's always great to label things, but sometimes it's impossible for me. I buy plants from places like car boot sales and think ooooooo thats pretty - I'll 'ave that! Soooooooooo then the end of the year rolls round, I dig up said plant, get my label and trusty marker pen out, and write........ oh heck, I don't actually know what this plant is!! So, I try and be descriptive. I write "daisy-thing" and "white flowers" on the label, and wander off, tutting to myself.
I have become quite parsimonious - I now cut up old margarine tubs for labels. I even colour coded my tomatoes this year because I knew the pencil would fade! However, it does make the gaden look as if it has a rash at times!
I wrote out some labels and covered them with clear nail varnish to seal them. Well it doesn't work, when I went back all the writing had run. Back to the drawing board then

slate labels what would you use to write on them

I sometimes abbreviate on labels and later wonder what I meant.

I had KEF's problem. Pots of RBHs, WGDs and BlYs
I never label in the garden though. I have a list to refer to.
