Very clever idea!!

well isn't that smart! :)
good thinking.
I have a huge supply of mini blinds from a garbage day pick up from my neighbour, and so use those with regular pencil....last year labels are still like new. If I didn't then I would definitely try your method.

Great idea. This is one of the things I love about this forum, people sharing their ideas that the rest of us may not have even considered. Thanks.

Very clever idea. I wish my label and tape method had worked. Now I have to figure out the height of everything as I plant it.

Token, I don't know how you labeled your containers. But if you labeled with duct tape on the bottom, you can still write the height there. I also list the number of seeds in a jug to give me an idea of whether a jug has finished giving me sprouts.

I had planned to use laser printed labels with clear tape. It was part of my spreadsheet idea. Instead, I used mini blind markers with red pencil and just wrote the name. I can print out my spreadsheet. After typing it all in several times due to USER error, I doubt I'll need it for most things. And I'm trying to make my garden viewable from all sides, so smaller plants next to larger plants won't really matter much.

Token, before planting out I used a grease pencil to write the height of the plants on the outside of the jugs. Thought maybe the grease pencil would be easy to wipe off so I can use the containers again for another type of seed. Haven't tried to wipe it off yet. Also, when I wanted more of the same annual last year I reused the same labeled jug.

I'm trying to be more informal. I've always been very strict and rigid. Gardening is a time for me to just throw caution to the wind. Wintersowing is a big part of that. The labels get a name, maybe a color if I have more than one kind. And no latin names. I speak English y Espanol, solamente.

I know what you mean, Token. Those Eye Dee Ten Tee errors on the computer really stink!
