HOPE I AM IN THE CORRECT PLACE?

MY QUESTION.. I PUT MARKERS OUTSIDE AND WRITE THE NAMES ON THEM WITH MAJIC MARKER.. AND THEY DISAPPEAR FROM THE SUN AND RAIN.. (THE WRITING, OF COURSE)..

WHAT TYPE OF MARKER DO YOU FOLKS SUGGEST? I HAVE SO MANY LOVELY PLANTS GROWING, AND NEED TO LABEL THEM .....

THANKS........

aluminum pie plates cut into strips work great for marking plants.use a pen or a pointed stick to put the name on it.it leaves a impression in the aluminum so you can read it.hope this helps you.your friend in gardening.mike57

i use clear packing tape. sticks better/longer

they make a paint pen or paint marker.they are sold in many stores but the best bet to find them is some place they sell plastic model cars.they will be in the model car paint section.and they come in many colors.i have some here but have never thought to use them to mark plants.guess i will have to give it a try.

If it's going to be extravagent I'd think rotary tool and do a cut out for the names and then stain it real nice. If you painted them black they would look like wrought iron. Wouldn't that be cool. But it sure would take some time. Of course it would make a great winter project.

A china marking crayon works well and will not fade or wash away

I finally found my paint marker (like Mike mentioned). It's called "Brite Mark valve action paint marker," and it's actually paint not ink like a Sharpie, so it really lasts. It says manufactured by Mark-Tex, Olatha, KS. It also has the name Dykem on it. I've been very happy with it.

At my local Horrocks; it's a mid-sized family business here in Michigan. They have an incredible plant nursery, gift area and small grocery with unique stuff. Don't know if they have them in PA. BUT - here you go! http://www.durablesupply.com/britemark40.html

Over the years I have tried everything from cheap to expensive. This year I decided to use flat rocks and acrylic paint (green). If the name is too long for a rock, I use firewood and paint the name on it. Both work well in my garden as it has been declare a Natural Wildlife Habitat.
