Anyway, I used to keep track of my perennials buy writing the name of them on one of those popsicle stick things that you can buy,(forgot what they're called), and they would last through the winter. I also took pictures of the garden so that I could remember what I planted, where, even in the pots on the porch. <BR/>I love gladiolas too, I had them one year and the next they were gone! (I had someone help me prep the garden one year and lots of perennials went missing!) :(<BR/>Good luck. I love gardening.

I would keep a gardner's journal, you can put in pictures of your plants and write in all about the plant. You can also jot down notes about were you are going to move your plants or how they did in current location, stuff like that.<BR/>Happy gardening!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20744967.post-82359388678488779852007-08-14T12:29:00.000-05:002007-08-14T12:29:00.000-05:00oh, how gorgeous~!Unfortunately, I don't have a pl...oh, how gorgeous~!<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, I don't have a place to keep track of things/ideas/plans.

A garden journal is a great way to keep track - there is even a journal out there with space for five years of posts on each page. Include photos also, taped in, seed packs or tags from plants (so you'll know what it is if you forget), add ideas from magazine, Internet, and your own - it can even be totally digital on your computer if you are quick at scanning, or adding photos, which it looks like you are. (Love your macro photos, BTW). A friend did all of her journaling of her garden in a spreadsheet, including photos, tags, etc. Good luck!Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182744597249526549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20744967.post-44561943061730809142007-08-12T12:43:00.000-05:002007-08-12T12:43:00.000-05:00Hi I enjoy your blog, and love gardening as well a...Hi I enjoy your blog, and love gardening as well as sewing and cooking. I keep a garden journal with photos/source notes for bulbs, seeds, etc. I think I have about 21 different varieties of tomato plants alone, and some do/taste better than others; next year I can replant my favorities and try new varieties. My favorite dahlia is vassio megos, which is a large dishplate dahlia in an beautiful lilac color. It is about 10 inches in diameter and ball shaped when it is in full bloom. At the end of the season, I cut the plant down to just slightly above ground level, and they bloom bigger and earlier the next year. If you like gladiolas, you might look at old house gardens dot com's website; they have unusual varieties of gladiola bulbs...one needs to order early because their supply goes very fast. I have purchased their tuberrose and lily bulbs, and they are beautiful.
