I like that idea! I will try that one.

Thank you Linda.

I've stuck light green ones into the ground to mark where I've got Virginia Bluebells planted.

I especially like this idea for potted plants & seedlings. Good tip.

Thanks Ann.

I like this idea too! I have always wondered what else I can do with the plastic knives that came with our to-go! Excellent!

I have used spoons. Its a great idea for a "starter garden" when its hard to remember where things are from year to year.

I've done this for years - when I get a new plant in and don't have time to make my permanent stake. I also use this method when I dig cultivars and pot them for auctions or for bingo games at club. I always use a permanent market. Forks do not work for me - not enough room. The rounded part of the spoon is good - if the name is not that long.

Another question - how in the world do you get to add the little critters at the bottom of this page? I know that you do this on your profile page - but so far I'm either too dumb or not computer savy. (Didn't know where to ask this question)

Just type what you want to say & when you want to insert a smiley from the bottom of the page then click on the smiley you want & it will be put where your cursor was --- continue typing & then click on a smiley & it will be there & so on & so forth. You will not "see" the smiley until you've hit finished but the smiley will show up as you insert it as "greengrin" for or "sad" for etc......

Just wanted to thank you for this easy, successful money-saver Margaret.

Your very welcome Evan, I'm glad it worked for you.
