Mark vegetable sowing
The vegetable seeding is done, but once again shows that the weeds shoot faster than the carrots and radishes. If you do not mark your sowing, you may find it difficult to differentiate the tender seedlings from unwanted weeds. Fortunately, there are some creative methods that bring clarity to the vegetable patch and look beautiful at the same time.
The classic: Seed bags on sticks
Probably the easiest and most common way to mark the sowing of vegetables: The emptied seed bag is cut into pieces, a meaningful illustrated part is pressed onto a small stick and stuck into the ground. Most of the seed bags are made of water-repellent material, so you do not have to worry about the tag simply melting during the next downpour. The method is so practical, but it is not very nice to look at.
Nice colorful: Painted pebble markers
Also, this recipe is very simple: Take some medium-sized pebbles, waterproof colors, and painted the stones with the name of the sown vegetables and possibly a small picture. It is best to use different colors for the different vegetable sowing, then you have the overview right away.
The clothespin method
A vegetable marker is above all one thing: to be visible. Another method to achieve this is the clothespin method: A clothespin is attached to a small stick, the name of the plant is written on it with a waterproof pen or a small picture of the plant painted on it. Done is the clip marker.
For wine lovers: the cork marker
This method is especially for wine lovers, because corks are needed. The cork is put on a wooden spit and labeled with the name of the sowing.
