... I start the annual retail tag manufacturing ritual/grind/chore/ -- @$%(^*%!!! lol. I've several thousand to go, (3000+) but gotta great start on it this past weekend with 650 tags made. Improvements to the tags for 2018 are laminating, shortening the tags a bit, printing on glossy photo paper, and finding an alternative to the twist tie at the base of the tag. Always work to do in the display beds and the field too.

as usual, Prince, my garden assistant is of ZERO help ....

You should be grateful that Prince takes that attitude. My kitty Scully would have those tags and paper clips all over the floor!

Looks like he's giving it the vote of approval.

thanks Shinzen

-- I designed those tags for that kind of feedback in mind. Glad to know they're holding up. I relayed your report to my garden assistant, Prince -- but he didn't give a d^&mn
