Need help organizing your seeds? When planting seeds at any time, you don't need to buy expensive planting labels. You can use popsicle sticks, tongue depressors, or window blinds cut into smaller pieces. Use a permanent marker to write what seeds or bulbs you are planting and always know where everything is.
Need help organizing gardening tools? Use an over-the-door shoe rack with pockets. Your tools fit neatly inside and you always know where they are.
I've used plastic silverware and plastic miniblinds for plant markers. When you write on them with permanent marker like a Sharpie, the writing fades in the sun. Plain old lead pencil works best and lasts for years.

I have a little container garden and planted seeds in 6 containers. To mark my veggies, I used Popsicle sticks and just put the letter of the veggie planted. You can use both ends, if you want to change your choice of veggies for the next year, also.
