works great as intended in planning the layout of my garden and in general writing on it. I also found that it makes a great paper tube for training my celery and Bok Choy. I think what ever makes the paper impervious to marker ink makes it strong enough to leave out in the weather. Just for giggles I tried it out on one celery plant and it works perfectly. The adhesive sticks to itself maintaining the tube shape I needed. WHO KNEW! I now know and ALL of the celery and Bok Choy have their own tubes. I will buy more of the sheets for next year.
