See, that's my problem...arthritic hands. We still have some made from blind material but they are getting pretty ragged. I also just got tired of writing the whole varieties name on a tag. I get the paint pens on Ebay for 5 for 6.00 and sun or rain, the writing lasts all season. I planted 1300 peppers this year (126 varieties....) so an easy master list and easy tags just make my life well..easier!
I also find that the hanging tags are easier to locate on large plants rather than those in the ground, underneath all the foliage. I use the pink ones as they are so easy to see (like everything else, it seems, the eyesight is not what it used to be!)
