Make a Seed Packet Marker:

Our seed packets make excellent markers for seedlings because they are chock-full of information. To protect them from water damage, attach packets to wooden stakes by slitting the bottom of the paper with a knife and sliding the stake through; shield each marker under a small inverted jar.
