Garden Stamp Trial


The stamps finally came and we learned a good lesson. Stainless works a-ok, but I think sterling would be way better.  The softer metal would ensure a good imprint, but this is not too bad for a first shot.  We did our first official label as onion in honor of the 200 onion sets that we planted today.  Yes, we planted and in the ground, not just the mass seeds we have started in the basement!  They will weather a cold snap, but the earth felt warm and ready, so we tucked them in.  Garden....game on! 

Now I'm off to get my game on with the ladies and trivia nite :)

  1. I must have missed something - this is really cool, but is it just art or does it have another purpose?

  3. It's a stamp set of the alphabet, we can hammer individual letters into flattened spoons. ( or any other metal for that matter). But the spoons we can recycle from thrift stores and use them as markers for our produce garden. A friend of mine found a link to a tutorial and I loved the idea!
