Oops... squashes

[bethduckie]

I got muddled at planting time and had to plant out from memory as my cardboard labels had, of course, disintegrated. Well it would seem that my pumpkin is a green courgette. I like courgette, but I have other courgettes, and my other pumpkin, or what I thought was a pumpkin, anyway, withered and died.

Fortunately one of my butternut squashes is not like the others, so I suspect that might in fact be a pumpkin... I just hope the BN I gave to my fellow plotters were in fact BN's...

D'oh...

That'll teach you to use plastic labels and a permanent marker, won't it?

[bethduckie]

I'd like to say yes...

Labels and PENCIL! I've used a permanent marker on mine and Its faded off! I could tell you what I grew last year! LOL

I use pencil on plastic too. It takes longer to get it off to reuse the label, but that shows it really works!

Florence, I to use pencil on plastic and struggled to clean my labels until I was rescued by the wife.

She gave me something called Doktor Power Magic Eraser. Now I throw them in a bowl of warm water quick wipe with the pad all done, might be worth a look at.

i use plastic milk bottles cut up with a cd writing pen. Nothings disappeared yet, in fact, they're still working form last year.
