Do you have plastic forks from take out/delivery food? Here is a great idea to recycle them - use them for plant tags! My kids and I planted seeds yesterday and made our own plant tags with recycled cardboard (from my Tazo Tea box). My son wrote the names on the tags (he's 4 and just learning to write) and we set them inside of the fork tongs, stuck them into the pots and Voila! Now we know what seeds we planted!
Note: you can do the same with the plastic spoons and knives too by writing the plant names on the plastic with a Sharpie marker.
Happy Recycling!

Great idea. I'm always looking for ways to label my veggies without buying something.
