It’s getting close to the time for greenhouse planting/seed starting, and I am always on the lookout for things that will not only cut expenses, but enable me to work more efficiently .

Plant tags are a necessity! Otherwise, everything would be one big blur!

There are dozens of fancy tags sold in garden centers that work well, but add to the cost of growing your own bedding plants, and, if you are like me, growing them to save money, then you certainly don’t want to put out that extra cash.

One of the best sources of plant tags, in my opinion, is a plastic slat venetian blind.
It can be an old used one or one bought in a “dollar” type store for mere pennies, but needs to be plastic and preferably white.

The slats can be cut in any size or shape needed, providing hundreds of tags. One blind has lasted me around five years.
