When I take the "Name Tag Stickers" off the Plant small pots to transfer them to my Farming land, I away apply "New Clear Plastic Bigger Tape" to the Permanent. This year there will be 2 Listing of each Variety, dealing with all this "Winds" before "Hurricane Season". My Plants in the Farmland is loving the wind and growing well.

I think slugworth has said that grease pencil is the thing to use on plastic for tags.

Grease Pencil works for me inside of a Plastic Bag, because to the Weather. Especially starting my seedling in January inside of a greenhouse, then out in the Elements. Somehow the grease pencil fades away a little when the hot temperatures hits. Secure inside a plastic bag has saved the name tag thoroughly from hight winds and high heated conditions from the sun of fading most times since Heirloom Plants last until the first forest in your ares.

@gardenmaid... I feel your pain! About 3 weeks ago, very strong winds blew over my mini-greenhouse & tossed many tomato seedlings out of their containers & soil. Some traveled halfway across driveway. It took me 2.5 hours to clean-up the mess. All told, 25 plants (out of 143) were lost; either blown away or crushed to death.
Although my problem isn't as bad as it could be because I mostly grow variegated and wooly varieties, I have a bunch of unlabeled plants (I haven't bothered to count them) that I was going to give-away & can't save seeds of. |

I had a tray of plants close to the house because they had no drainage and not used to full sun.
Mice ate the "bark" off all the plants. I had to replant deeper and hopefully they will root higher up on the plant. |
