DIY Garden Markers

This year I’m planting my herbs in the sunniest corner of our yard, so hopefully they won’t turn yellow and die again. Third time’s the charm, right? I don’t really need herb markers (I mean, it’s pretty easily to tell the difference between basil and rosemary), but they are so darn cute that I decided to make myself a set with my old stash of polymer clay and rubber stamps. This is what you need to make your own: oven bake-able polymer clay rolled into 1.25″ balls (one ball for each marker) appropriate baking dish (according to package instructions) a rolling pin a butter knife rubber letter stamps an oven Roll each clay ball into a coil about 5.5″ long. Use the dull side of your knife to trim one end into a point (the dull side won’t leave behind serrated marks), and shape the edges of each marker with the flat side of your knife. Stamp your garden markers, and bake them according to the clay package instructions.

Un monde de piqués ! Plusieurs modes de reproduction peuvent être envisagés pour vos plantes grasses. Nous allons les aborder ici, du plus simple au plus complexe.

Cette méthode est très utile pour obtenir de nouveaux plants, mais devra être effectuée relativement régulièrement si vous voulez avoir des spécimens de taille correcte, car on va repartir à chaque fois de zéro, donc il faut laisser le temps à la plante de se développer. II - LA DIVISION OU LE PRELEVEMENT DES REJETS (difficulté : facile) En particulier sur les Aloe, Echinopsis...
