More craft stick markers followed the harvest home from Mary’s garden:
As before, all-caps names survive longer:
Although the name looks intact, the last few letters have cracks and would have fallen apart in a while.
Pretty much as expected, thin wood markers are not forever.

Would splashing a bit of poly on them give them better weather resistance?
Mary agreed to deploy those bare sticks, but is (understandably) reluctant to sprinkle fragments of treated wood all over the beds. I’m sure coated sticks would survive longer, but they’re still just thin slabs of wood in a hostile environment.
Coating the MDF signs on the Vassar gates didn’t seem to slow their deterioration by very much; that was, admittedly, indoor urethane.
