Well, that's exactly what I did at the end of May, when I planted all my
seedlings. Unfortunately, all the writing managed to fade away by July, so
owing to the fact that my memory is not what it used to be, I have a bunch
of tomato and pepper plants that are pretty much of a mystery to me.
You need wax. Wax is what you need. Uh-huh! Write on the sticks with a pen,
rub over with a white candle. Both sides. I mean, no one _really_ wants to
use *plastic* do they?!?
