To mark pots, we use the cheapest Avery return address label #5267 .5x1.75" stuck on popsicle sticks covered with transparent tape. This is not free but the labels are .5¢ @ and the sticks are about $2.50 /1000 at a craft store. There is a label wizard in MSWorks or you can download from http://www.avery.com/index.html a trial version of their software and a wizard which works with Word. I like using the wizard because we can use the Description field from our garden database for the names on the labels without retyping. Curtis Brothers "Michael W.

I have to figure out some scheme, round pots for habs, square for long red, green for jal, or I may just plant them in the ground which will be the easy way to keep them straight. ----- Original Message ----- From: Leslie L.
