RE: [Rose-list] Garden maps/pictures/journal'

**"* S* <S*@schwabe.com>**

Okay!  I'll give you another "idea."  I also take pictures of each aspect of
the garden once a month from March/April through the season (this would
depend on where you live -- in Oregon, things start happening in Feb.
sometimes).  These are so WONDERFUL to look back on in the winter, if
nothing else to cheer one up and give hope!

But they are quite useful for seeing when things bloom, how big they really
did get (yes, I need to move "X" -- it's getting smothered by "Z").  Also
for marking the maturity of your garden.  I cannot believe how big the
hostas get!!

My son thinks I'm crazy to waste a roll of film a month, but it's worth it
to me.  I keep the pictures with my garden journal for that year.

Now if I only had a video camera....

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
