Plant Markers from Old Mini Blinds

April 14, 2010 By Jackie 3 Comments

Sometimes there is a method to my madness.  I took down a set of mini blinds a few months ago and kept them.  On Monday, I started planting our garden and needed some plant markers.  I remembered the old mini blinds and set to work. 

I cut the strings and pulled out a few slats.  I cut them at about 10 to 12 inch intervals.  I used scissors to make one end pointy, and then wrote on them with a permanent marker.

I stuck them in the ground to mark my rows and that was it.  So, if you have an old mini blind lying around and a garden, this might just work for you, too.  (If you live close to me and need some I have plenty.)

I am linking this post to Works for Me Wednesday at We Are THAT Family.
