Your #plantlabel is superb! What did you use to mark the rock so it'd last?

thanks @jennlamaye I usually burn wood with polyethylene. This s an experiment with Sharpie and mod podge. I'm going to try Patio Paint for colors and they have a clear coat too. And I'd like to try Black DecoArt glass paint for the letters.
