2023 - What I sowed today

What do you all use to mark your outdoor sowings? Last year, I mostly used little markers made from old yoghurt pots and similar, but my garden is quite exposed and the wind moved them around. I have some slate markers, but it's hard to write on them clearly, the chalk washes away quite quickly, and they snap very easily. I'm currently marking the corners of blocks where I've sown things using twigs, but as I get to the point where most areas have sowings, that's going to become less clear. Even now, it doesn't tell me what is sown in which block. Maybe I should draw a garden plan and mark sowings on there? But I can't do it outside in the wind and I may have forgotten where I sowed things by the time I get inside!

I use homemade big plastic plant labels. Cut out of old fish boxes. Granted they’re not the easiest thing to get your hands on if you can’t go beach combing regularly.
   

They’re big but low to the ground so don’t blow away.

They don’t have to be fish boxes. you could use any big plastic container. Old trugs, buckets, paint pots (lots of the 5lt 
ones are plastic now), MFB (use a white marker ). 

I was going to a lick buckets to that list. But there’s a reasonably high chance you can’t get them easily either   .
