DIY Markers For Growing Vegetables

The sun is shining and it’s vegetable growing season. Today I have a simple but effective tutorial for making DIY Markers for growing vegetables. My Dad is a huge gardener and loves growing vegetables.

I have always admired his ability to grow veg and although I haven’t grown as much in the last few years as I would have liked to, we have successfully grown tomatoes and herbs.

I am super excited to try growing vegetables again this Season in the garden and in our plant post and this should help us live more frugally and be more self sufficient.

So today I am sharing this basic tutorial here on The Inspiration Edit, how to make vegetable Garden Markers. It’s simple and easy and can be done with the kids. In fact this is a great activity to do after using this plant and seeds lapbook.
