I use the mini-blinds for simple labeling, but after some others at the swap brought plants with detailed labels (maybe Linnea?), I realized how nice it is to know at a glance how tall a plant will get, what bloom color, if it needs a lot of water, etc. so I like to give all that info on my labels. But I spent wayyyy too much time putting them on at the last minute so I'd love to find a better way.
Last year whatever pencil I used on my mini-blind labels in my own garden faded away to nothing! I can't remember what I put in a spot last year and the label is totally blank
It was pencil, not sharpie, since I know sharpie fades in a few months.
