Yeah, Robert. We've been using them for several years now. I cut each of the blind blades down the middle and then to the length I like. Then, a fine point Sharpie and we're off to the planting.

It's the easiest and, most importantly, by far, the CHEAPEST way to do it. You can buy a new blind or just use an old one that needed replacing. Each slat in a standard window width will yield up to 16 plant markers. An old pair of scissors cuts the plastic easily.

And, they go to the garden or container at plant-out time. I stick them in the ground when the seedling is planted and pick them out when cleaning up the garden in the fall. The shade from the plant all but eliminates sun fade.
