The vegetable sowing is done, but once again it shows that the weeds shoot faster than the carrots and radishes. If you don't mark your sowing, you sometimes have a hard time distinguishing the tender little plants from unwanted weeds. Fortunately, there are some creative methods that bring clarity to the vegetable patch and are beautiful to look at at the same time.

The classic: seed packets on sticks

Probably the simplest and most common method to mark the vegetable sowing: The empty seed bag is cut up, a meaningful illustrated part is pricked on a small stick and stuck into the ground. The seed bags are usually made of water-repellent material, so you don't have to worry about the marker simply melting away in the next downpour. The method is therefore practical, but it is not particularly beautiful to look at.

Beautifully colourful: Painted pebble markers

This recipe is also very simple: Take a few medium-sized pebbles, waterproof paints, and paint the stones with the name of the vegetable you have sown and possibly a small picture. It is best to use different colors for the different vegetable sowings, then you immediately have an overview.

The clothespin method

A vegetable marker should do one thing above all: be visible. Another way to achieve this is the clothespin method: A clothespin is attached to a small stick, the name of the plant is written on it with a permanent marker or a small picture of the plant is drawn on it. The bracket marker is ready.

For wine lovers: the cork marker

This method is primarily intended for wine lovers because corks are required. The cork is placed on a wooden skewer and labeled with the name of the sowing.
