Oh man that is terrible. So sorry to hear that. I went and bought a pack of those grease pencils to write on the plastics, since modern sharpies don't hold on to the plastic for very long. I had roundup mixed in one 1/2 gallon sprayer with the name and skull and crossbones and could barely see the markings after a few months.

I don't have either seed or they would be on the way.

I sprayed a computers insides down with spider spray instead of air one time.
Took forever to clean it up.

We never leave any liquids in spray bottles,hand pumps etc.Use on as much as you need then empty ,rinse the bottles,the spray nozzles.Some of the stuff if left a longtime turns caustic.Learned my lesson,left some fish emulsion too long,took years to get rid of smell!

Doesn’t seem all that fair how all so much work and care can be turned around and destroyed in an instant. Unfortunately, not much about this life is fair. One little mistake or moment of inattention can be devastating to plans. I have a sprayer for herbicides and one for fertilizer, but they are totally different sizes and looks, no chance at confusion about which is which.

Oh no. I feel your pain! I hope that you can find some nice replacements for your plants.

Sorry to see you killed your plants with the wrong spray bottle, it can be easy to do, I have three hand pump up sprayers I try to keep well marked and a 20 gallon sprayer I put in the back of my Club Car Carry-All dump bed to spray fence lines and larger areas, Sharpie came out with a more weather proof marking pen a few years ago,I bought a pack and they do last longer than their regular pens.
