The vegetable sowing is done, but once again it turns out that the weeds are sprouting faster than the carrots and radishes. If you don't mark your sowing, it can be difficult to distinguish the delicate plants from unwanted weeds. But luckily there are some creative methods that bring clarity to the vegetable patch and are beautiful to look at at the same time.
How to mark vegetable sowing in the garden?
To mark vegetable sowing in the garden, you can use seed bags on sticks, painted pebbles, clothespins or corks. It is important that the markings are clearly visible and made of weatherproof material.
The classic: seed packets on sticks
Probably the simplest and most common method for marking vegetable sowing: The emptied seed bag is cut up, a meaningful, illustrated part is pierced onto a small stick and stuck into the ground. The seed bags are usually made of water-repellent material, so you don't have to worry about the markings simply melting during the next downpour. The method is practical, but it's not particularly nice to look at.
Beautifully colorful: Painted pebble markers
This recipe is also very simple: Take a few medium-sized pebbles, waterproof paints, and paint the stones with the name of the sown vegetable and possibly a small picture. It's best to use different colors for the different vegetable sowings, then you'll immediately have an overview.
The clothespin method
A vegetable marker should do one thing above all: be visible. Another way to achieve this is the clothespin method: a clothespin is attached to a small stick, the name of the plant is written on it with a waterproof pen or a small picture of the plant is painted on it. The bracket marker is ready.
For wine lovers: The cork marker
This method is primarily intended for wine lovers because corks are required. The cork is placed on a wooden skewer and labeled with the name of the sowing.
