I find it useful to add notations into my latest copy
of Sunset by hand. My list of weeds alone comes from
finally getting the names of some of the most
pernicious weeds named by others on this list. Not
being organized enough to have all this on the
computer, at least writing it in Sunset is a catchall
location for the information. My older copies of
Sunset also serve as records of less common plants
that caught my interest over the years, or as records
of new plant introductions.
