IS IT TIME TO START SEEDS YET?

Have you started thinking about your spring garden yet?  If  you are like me you probably stared the day after Christmas. 

I start most of my seeds  for tomatoes and peppers and other plant in those cell trays and need  markers to remind myself what is planted in each tray.  I have used Popsicle sticks and bought the plastic sticks in packages but came across a tip on a YouTube site video that sounded like a better solution. Old Vinyl Blinds

 (You can buy a set of blinds from Walmart for about $8 )

I took my old ones apart and wound up with 75 slats. I cut them into lengths that I needed and had a total of 370 plant sticks.  The nice thing is you can customize them to your needs.  I cut some longer, some shorter and some skinnier.

Write on them with a magic marker and re-use each year.

I can't wait to get started.  Hope this helps.
