Is there an easy way to sow seeds?

Easy Seed Sowing: (3) Don't Forget The Label.

Write out a 4"plastic "stick " label with an ordinary pencil. The so-called permanent markers often fade through time. Biros fade within the week!
Write the date across the square end of the label. It is always a good practice to write the plant name and variety from the square end rather than the pointed end of the label, so that you can read the label without having to take it out of the tray.
As you will be covering the sown tray with polythene, place the label initially on its side at one end of the tray.
