missing plant tags

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.

Speaking of grease pencils, I have looked for months for white ones and
finally found some on a dusty, unused shelf at the building supply yard, of
all places. We like to mark the outside of the black plastic gallon pots in
case our stake(s) disappears from the inside.
