In reply to Beverly, zone 6, eastern PA. Venetian blind slats are ideal, but not many people have access to them like you do. Thanks for sharing your tip!

I favor labels made from mini-blinds, cut to any size preferred and written in pencil. The graphite lasts well, better than a grease pencil and better than a Sharpie pen.

My source is the local blinds-maker. We swap. I take him some baked goods and he saves me the metal blind pieces that are trimmings or mistakes and are headed to the trash. It’s a win/win situation. Sometimes they come in colors but usually they are white or cream in color. Hard to beat.

I’d lose the pink one too. Kind of too much contrast from the plants. Rocks are a good idea for our wind.
