I found this idea in an old issue of Carolina Gardener magazine.
Use broken pot pieces for garden plant labels.
It didn't say what kind of pen to use, but I'm assuming a good permanent marker would work. I have a LOT of pieces of pots, so I know what I'm doing tomorrow!

Hey!
Yeah, that IS a good idea!
I use permanent markers on the bottom of my clay pots and it stays on like FOREVER!

I like it I know a few ppl that could use that for their gardens, they currently use small wooden markers, That I always have trouble finding

Hi Barb,

how ya doing,here it s allright,tomorrow is our wedding anniversary,17 yrs.

it s a WONDERBAR of an idea,i adopted it,now if we could just have more fight to break up pots and sishes it ll be ok.

thanks for the idea and have a good week-end!!

I use plant markers from the paint dept at home depot ( you know the free paint sterers they have sitting in buckets on the paint counter) To justify taking a hand full go to the hardware section and buy a wood burning tool to burn the name of the plant onto the stick with. Then coat the stick with some urethane and they will hold up for a couple of seasons

That is pretty cool.
Also - either one could be painted with a pretty scene and then urethaned.
Lord...another excuse to not do housework!
