Plant Markers

Here's an easy way to mark your plants.  Just use rocks!  The original pin I used for inspiration used paint, but I just used a sharpie marker.  The hardest part of this project is finding the right rocks.  You could use smooth, round river rocks.  I used rocks that had flat, angled sides so they would stand up and have a flat face to write on.  I don't have a vegetable garden, so I made some plant markers for my herb garden.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While I was in my back yard making my plant markers, I noticed our turtles were out.  They're desert box turtles and are native to our area.

I thought they might be hungry after hibernating all winter, so I gave them a treat.  They love to eat strawberries, cantaloupe, and tomatoes!

I also noticed the chocolate flower in bloom in my backyard.
Chocolate flower (berlandiera lyrata) is also native to our area and it's called chocolate flower because it really does smell like chocolate!
