Not my usual haunt but had a quick look at the gardening stuff when I popped in to do a bit of top up shopping..... ;D as you do!
They had bags of really nice,wide white plant lables in stock, not the cheapest at 96p for 50 (plus a little pencil, unsharpened but hey ho.. :-\) but they are ideal for long term plant labels as you can fit two lines of writing easily on them, something I struggle to do on most labels. Plus whatever they are made of has a slight texture which makes them easy to write on with either pencil or a Sharpie pen. Recommended! ;D
Tesco have also got 1kg boxes of Miracle Gro soluble plant food for £2.97.
I just bought a 5ft white venitian blind from car boot for £1 cut it up will last ages for labels on lotty. ;D
great idea GG... eyes out for skips!!
I make my own plant labels out of alumium drink cans using sissors to cut the metal in to strips and a biro to write on the inner surface that leaves a indent which doesn't fade or wash off :)
Cut up a few 4 litre white plastic milk containers to any shape or size you like.
