     An alternative to a grease pencil (China marker?) that I have used for 
years on the sides of black plastic pots is "Mean Streak - Waterproof 
Permanent Marking Stick"   made by Sanford Corp., Bellwood, IL USA 60104.   I 
still have the same marker I got over 10 years ago, and I no longer recall 
where it was purchased.   Writing on the pots has remained intact for at 
least 5 years, all exposed to the weather.   One disadvantage: if you reuse 
pots, be sure to mark a line through the old writing, as I have not found a 
way to remove the white marks.
