Cheap and easy plant labels

If you have as many plants in your flower, herb and vegetable gardens as I have, it's probably hard to remember what they all are and you've thought about labeling them. Professional labels can be quite pricey, so here's a cheap and easy label idea.

Plastic disposable knives and a permanent marker are an excellent way to mark your plants. Just write the plant information on the handle. Because they're plastic, they won't break down in the weather, and the serrated side of the knife is ideal for sticking your new labels in the ground.
