Title: Disapointed by sharpies
Post by: cambourne7 on July 01, 2013, 21:57:50
Well a few weeks ago had another round of sowing seeds and used my cravendale plant labels and carefully wrote on them with my sharpie what they all were never had a problem before but today all i have a blank plant labels with blue drizzel :(

Not happy i think i have sown all my herbs in 2 trays and all my brassicas in 2 others but not 100% sure :(

Might need some help identifying what things are :)

Anyone else had problems?

Mine faded but I had more problems as I forgot to label individual brassicas so Ray has had to do 3 tall cages as I didn't know which were sprouts :toothy10:

Sharpies have always done that for me too - strange as they say they're permanent!

Laundry markers don't fade for me - and if you do it in pencil it holds pretty well and if it does fade you can just make out the scratch marks!

Pencil is best I find... You can wash it off with fairy dishwasher but they stay really well in the open and dont fade.
