Last year I read about the idea of using used mini blind slats for labeling veggies in the garden and thought is was a grand idea since i had plenty of those laying around. However, the Sharpie faded in the sun long before garden season was over. So THIS year, I’m taking the additional step of spraying them with clear spray paint (2 coats) before staking them in the garden (click photo to enlarge). We’ll see how it goes….
Considering there was snow on the ground at just about this time last year, we are pretty grateful for the awesome fall weather we’re having here in Omaha, NE!!! Maybe we’ll get something to eat out of this garden, after all…
Fall gardening definitely has its downside! With the threat of frost tonight, we couldn’t afford to take any chances. So off to the thrift store we went to buy them out of queen-sized sheets. Looks like we’re covered, but we still pray for NO FROST for those who aren’t able to tuck their veggies in for the night
