As a backup, make a map of your garden and stick it on the fridge. That way if there is a huge storm, flood, evil child or adult who moves tags you will still know which plant is what.

On fading Sharpies marker, it is not the water, it is not the temperature BUT direct sun. Some of my tags from last season, buried in the ground , are still readable.[/QUOTE]

That is why my tags always face north. I use grease pen and they are always readable at season’s end. Only works if you are gardening in the Northern Hemisphere, though.

You can use a lumber crayon on most surfaces and they come in a range of colors. Not sure how well they would work on glossy smooth plastic but they are cheap at the hardware store. I have wooden stakes so im just writing directly on them.
