Its great to see that it isnt just me. I thought I was just lazy but it appears most of us have the same problems. I have just tied plastic labels to the remaining short stubs of dahlias which should help next year.
I also use abbreviations which is usually hopeless as is labelling just 1 of 5 babies which start in 1 row in greenhouse but end up all over the place.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Coloured labels are useful when growing a lot of plants of the same variety. Have a note book, write in blue labels = tomato 'gardeners delight', then stick blue labels into the correct pots or put all the pots into the same tray and just label one pot in that tray. Then don't lose the book! You'll need a range of label colours
I had a beautiful row of Irises pop up this year, and could I remember planting them?!!! A lovely surprise, but seriously worried about my tiny brain cells!!! So yes, I'm labelling now!!!
i found two pots this afternoon both covered with moss emptied one out and it was full of tiny bulbs all sprouting, back in pot new compost into greenhouse no idea what they are
The beauty of a garden plan indoors is that you can work on it during the winter months....tinker, experiment, etc work,out plant associations all from the comfort of your armchair
Then do something completely different when you get out there
