DIY Herb Markers

What's there to do on a rainy holiday off work?

Well, you can whip up some bread dough,

but that's a lot of work.

So after that,

why not start your herbs indoors?

I like to use the pods for herbs.

Then, for even more fun. you can

make your own herb markers.

All you need is a  Steel Stamping Set,

a hammer, some washers and a black sharpie.

Make sure you lay the washer on a hard cement surface.

Place the stamp where you want it,

and hit it hard a couple of times.

Then trace over the letters with the Sharpie,

give it a few seconds to dry 

and then rub off the excess marker with a damp rag.

Oh - but don't stop there   : )

So
much
fun.

Along the subject of seeds - did you know that Clint Baker over at The Redeemed Gardner is having a seed give-away?  He would love for you to stop by and leave him a comment.  The seeds are from Botanical Interests, which is the same place that the herb seeds in my photo above came from.  He has LOTS of useful and practical advice for gardeners on his blog.
