<< It was pointed out to me yesterday that one of the members was using the
labels from the seed packet to apply to the growing pot as identification.
While this is an excellent idea, I would like to point out that the labels
were printed on an ink jet printer and that ink is very water soluble and
you run the risk of having the ink run and the information disappear. >>

I find an easy way to ID seedlings is to write with water-proof ink on a
plastic plant marker and put this in the pot or on a tray. HOWEVER, even
water-proof ink has washed away in my greenhouse.  So now, I simply put a
small piece of Scotch tape over the printing to protect it from water and any
water-soluable feedings.
