Showing off your herbs

I don't know about you, but I like to show off my herbs in nice teracotta pots, particularly when I'm growing them indoors. They make a nice feature in the kitchen or conservatory and are a talking point when friends and family drop by.

I like to label them as I can't always remember each variety, particularly if I am growing several similar types. Plastic labels look OK, but I prefer to use metal ones - they look much nicer and are more robust.

Metalgardenmarkers.com supply garden markers, plant stakes, and plant labels in a range of differing styles, shapes and sizes. They are a simple, attractive, and inexpensive way to keep your herbs organized. They also sell accessories such as marker pens and provide information on how to best use the labels.

The mini version is perfect for using for your herb pots. They are just 6″ tall, so will fit neatly, even in the smallest of pots.

The markers are available in packs of 25 or 100. In the slightly larger sizes, I like the copper version which is 10″ tall. Metal Garden Markers also offer a free brochure and you can sign up for a monthly newsletter on the site as well.

Metal Garden Markers really are a great way to label your herbs.
