and this has been in the works ....

... for some time.  Came across these plant stakes that are designed to allow marking the name of the plant and then remove the wording and reuse.  Took some time for this idea to reach the top of the stack......And now they are permanent markers for a mini garden...The top measures 1" x 2" across with overall height of 4-3/4".

I did apply outdoor mod podge to seal them from moisture. Now need to go to work on the gardens.....photos soon.
