Re: Cult:A rebuttal to marking and mapping

Ellen, your humor is such a delight, and you revived my spirits after reading 
those meticulous planting ideas of others!  And the pictures your 
descriptions produced were hilarious!  I could just see you scurrying around after 
things, and the family  playing hopscotch around the  water buckets! 
 I was appalled that my  "careful" method  in comparison seemed so slipshod!  
I am wholeheartedly with you as to enjoy irises and is also why I do not 
sell!  If I have doubts they are given away with a  big ? on the leaves and people 
can take their chances on getting a possible highpriced iris or!  And those 
I'm sure of, I am really sure of, and people know  and count on this and are 
happy when my generosity of surplus overflows into  club sales, friends, 
helpers, etc.
I plant alphabetically and  have a card for each individual iris, so that 
gives me a clue what was behind  or in front of a missing labeled plant (due to 
animals or  garden-helper),  But  as you say,  a more relaxed  way to garden is 
more fun -- and life is too short (and mine even shorter)! To go into such 
details.  However, I admire anyone who can stand that strain,  m ore power to 
them!      Rosalie nr Baltimore zone 7, alternating between flood and drought
