Folks,
I have two related problems that I would like others' input. When I buy
plants, I sometimes get the plants mixed up after a while (a year or two
later) and can't remember what I've really got. I usually stick the
label stick that comes with the plant in the ground when there is one,
but after a time these tend to come out, break, get lost, etc. But even
when they don't disappear, that doesn't help when there is more than one
plant, and only one label, or there is none. Invariably, the one that
has the label will die and leave the labelless one by itself. I can't
see sticking a label by each plant, that is just too obtrusive. I know
there are good durable labels out there, but most are pretty expensive (
I always translate the cost of the label into how many little plants I
could buy instead). I'd like to figure out some other less costly way
that isn't too obtrusive. How do others remember what they have?
/ As well as labeling with something I stick in the ground next to the
plant, I keep a journal listing date and where planted (under such-and-such
a tree, next to a certain daffodil, etc.) That way I have two points of
reference - the label and the info in the journal.
I'd like to keep a list of the plants on my computer, with the botanical
name and common name, but haven't figured out a good way to tell exactly
where I've planted what. Do you all have some system that you'd share
with me?
