So, my gardens are starting to get the best of me time wise so please pardon any weeds you may or may not see in my garden.
I have a lot of plants. With the tags they came with looking like this I was constantly explaining to people what they all were.
As you may have heard on facebook this was my first outdoors DIY. I made the mistake of just grabbing the kids washable paint since it was on hand. Well, it washed off the first time it rained.
So I redid them this time with good Behr paint with primer. They are actually purple even though they don’t look it.
Don’t they look good next to all my herbs?
I made 22 total and now I’m working on larger ones for my main garden. Total cost for both projects $7 (and I bought way more paint then I needed).
Please take a moment and vote for me to attend BlogHer with Lovable Labels. I wrote my story of my struggle through postpartum depression and it made the finals. Please vote for me here.

Are those paint sticks?
That’s a good idea – I still use the plastic inserts and they always get ruined and fly away!

Much more attractive then the plant sticks that come with the plants. Love it!
Ooh, those are cool! I have some cheapie metal ones but don’t think they’ll last more than a season or two. Really like the look of yours!
I actually like the second ones better. The words really pop on that white background!
You did a great job! I love those.
I like them! I just found a really cute painted garden stone idea that I want to make. I need to get on it!
Hey Jenn, Thanks for hosting and I tweeted for you, and also I voted too! Good luck with that.
Oh my goodness, those plant stakes are adorable! You could bundle them and sell them! As for the paint, got any rooms that need a new color? LOL
Those are cool!
I like that idea! I should do it because I don’t remember which are my cucumbers and which are my green beans LOL
I love your gardening sticks. Excited to see more photos!
I love this! These are so much easier to read than the ones that come with the plants.
Oh my goodness. I LOVE LOVE your pin signs. My herb garden bit the dust. ALL of it. all I have left is a HUGE (and when I say huge I mean HUGE) Basil bush. Maybe the TX heat has been too harsh, but now I’m feeling so sad after seeing yours. Good work though. I want to do that next year.
I’m stealing that idea they look GREAT!
what a cute & frugal idea! I have, well had those plant sticks that came with stuff too… all got faded, lost ot broken… so sometimes I still have to guess myself, LOL!
Great job Jennifer! Not only useful, but cute too. Win/Win!
They turned out great!! Too cute.
Okay, I don’t have a garden but I am SERIOUSLY thinking of doing one next year. We LOVE fresh veggies and I think we could save a ton by planting our own.. I absolutely LOVE your homemade sticks! I am going to bookmark this for when I start!
We planted a lot too. Lots of weeds as well.
