A tip on your plastic markers. I have used them and used permanent marker to write on. It will fade after a few years. I switched to putting some clear packing tape over the marker and wrapping it all the way around. Works great.

I used blue painters tape, wrote on the tape & wrapped on the marker. I didn’t want anything permanent on them. While sorting through things, I found a few - will have to see how easy the blue tape peels off! I’ll probably end up using your method - thanks!

I just pitched a ton of seeds, most from 2022 - not much of a garden in 2023 & zero (other than zinnias & herbs) last year. I’m starting fresh this year. In looking at the packages, it did remind me of some things I want to plant & had forgotten about like Tithonia (Mexican Sunflower). The butterflies, bees & birds love the flowers.
