Scrap Wood Vegetable Garden Markers
The garden build is a little slow, we've had a lot of rain and cold temperatures here in the north east.
We recently dug up the large perennial garden we've had for years and built a fence to surround our soon to be vegetable garden.
While the garden is in the works we kept busy by building a potting bench, you can see my projects by visiting the bold links.
I also made a no-sew garden apron from a pair of old jeans to wear while I'm busy in the garden.
I have a couple of things that are ready to be planted including a few onions that started to grow in the bag.
I began the garden markers with scrap wood from my workshop and 4 dowels that were from an old wooden saran wrap holder.
Most of these pieces were already painted white but I gave them a quick once over to make them all match.
Next I used my new Cricut Joy vinyl cutter to create labels for the plant markers.
This little machine is great!
I just got it and have already made labels for everything in my kitchen plus a few t-shirts.
I'll be retiring from teaching in a few weeks and I can possibly see a future as a t-shirt maker. 😂
I cut the permanent vinyl then attached the words to the markers.
After all the markers were labeled I sprayed them with a couple coats of satin sealer.
These markers were perfect for the garden and aside from an investment in the vinyl cutter, the scrap wood markers were free.
They are ready for the garden though the garden isn't ready for the markers yet.
We need to add a little more soil and compost this weekend.
I planted the overgrown onions in the corner and marked them with their new cute little sign.
A sign of good things to come!
Here is the most current photo of my garden, it is coming along beautifully and I've made even more markers!
