LOL. For anything I hope will be a permanent fixture, like
azaleas or
clematis, I use a thin but indestructible copper label (sold by
Lakeland
Plastics) indented by a biro. Anything else like seeds or cuttings
gets
a plastic label and pencil. Pencil lasts far longer than
"indelible"
marker pens ime.
However, I'm so mean and idle I use each plastic label four times
(both sides, both ends) before cleaning them off with a brillo pad
and
starting again.
I find spit and a firm rub with a finger works perfectly well.
Which closes the circle: That is essentially why I am looking for an
actual permament method.

To change the topic slightly, which urglers keep sketches of what is
where in the garden as a backup for the labels?
Who keeps them on a computer?
We've taken to systematically photographing the whole garden several
times a year. We keep the images on the computer.
