For labels above ground the Brother P-touch labels are great (I have not actually used them, but know lots have). I recently added zinc labels and used a china marker that is oil based. They do not fade in the sun, but can be reused if you use oil to remove the writing. The paint pens that you get in craft stores also last if you write with them. DON'T use regular "permanent" Sharpies, they will fade in the sun. I have been told that the industrial Sharpies will not, but have never used them myself.

The zinc labels.
Close up of zinc label.
Here is one that someone sent me with a labeler.
Another zinc label with the original plant marker next to it, an "expensive" plastic knife marked with a paint pen. Made in 2009.
