When sowing seeds either in a pot or outside in the open ground you need to record the name of the plant on a marker of some sort. While you can just mount the empty seed packet on a short stick there are more attractive ways to remind you what you have planted. These ten ideas which I came across on the Bless My Weeds website would make an ideal DIY project for the winter months.
