Bad question Cheryl, now there will be 100 posts on how to do it.  I bury the
label under the plant and that is it.  I mark potted plants or rare or
unusual ones in containers and I sort of have a shameful filing system for
all else. When I buy something with a tag, I throw it into a big pot in the
garden house.  I clean and sort it around every three or four years.  If you
are on tour and you absolutely do not know a name and you are really pressed
make one up.  If no pencil and paper appear, you are home free.

The only group of plants that are labelled are the daylilies, I have found the SeeFine work best for me - nice long stakes and lots of room to write.

If any of the plant snobs want to know what something is and I don't remember any more, I'll fudge it - happily in some cases.....

The mowed area is looking happier - I'll trim some more foliage and maybe stick a piece of garden art down there! Now, if I could only get my hands on a bowling ball!
