I used Lotus 123 to computerize my iris bed. I raised my iris bed this
year, - 80' x 12, and planted them 6 to a row.
I increased column size to incorporate names, dates of introduction,
developer, any awards won, color, height and where purchased. Takes about
3 rows, and columns at 30.
That made a useful reference tool (and for heavens sake, save it on a
separate disk in case of computer crash), but very unweildly when you want
a list to share or carry around. I used the transpose feature to copy all
the names in the top row of each column into a list I can print out in
landscape.
As each cultivar increases - they will be transplanted to separate beds of
their own. There are not markers made at a reasonable price that
can't be lifted by critters, caught by the mower, stepped on by the dog,
whatever - I found the computerized iris bed very helpful.
