To all,

This is an excerpt from an off line discussion Dennis and I were having, but I 
thought I would relate my experience this last year to you all.

One of the most valuable tips I gleaned from ths iris-l list discussions was to keep 
a diary or garden notes and draw a map of where I plant things. Don't know why I 
never thought of it before in all my vegetable gardening. I always struggled with 
what variety I planted where. Tags lost, stakes chewed up by mischievious German 
Shepherd, giant plants hiding things etc etc. This year I did a map (even 
computerized it) and started a log book. Has saved me several times already. Anyway, 
thanks all, thanks Dennis.
