Plant labels

I have hundreds of large, white plastic labels that I've used my black marker pen on. That's difficult to clean off, so I have ended up with loads of markers with types of flowers and veg that I might never grow again. So, I needed a new method.

I've decided to go for a 1,2,3 kind of system where I put a number on a label, and then note down what that stands for, and keep that for reference.

I soak my labels for a few seconds in white spirits then rub the marker pen off. Then wash all the labels (swirl round) in hot soapy water. 1 or 2 don’t always clean off completely, but definitely enough to write on again.
