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.

  I have that problem now. I have 4 different chile seedlings in 6 pots
each.
  While they are in the starter tray I mark the rows with cutouts of the
seed
  packets on toothpicks. 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.
