My garden has grown so much in the past few days the previous pictures I have feel too dated to share. Today I will take more pictures and provide a new tour de garden.
While I LOVE maintaining my garden, the one aspect I fail at on a yearly basis is labeling my rows. Each spring I vow to label and date my rows with what i've planted and each spring I fail to do so.
How do you keep your gardens organized? How do you label your plants? Do you note the dates you plant?
Thanks for the info on your lights! I have been using the 1 shop light and it sucks always moving it from bed to bed with the shadows and such. I ordered some of the strand ones, so thanks for the advice.
ReplyDeleteI label my garden on wooden popsicles sticks that I shove in the ground by the row! Date on back and type of veggie on front with a sharpie. The bonus is I 'have' to eat popsicles through the spring and summer to have enough - darn...I am a huge nerd, so I also have 1 piece of paper made per bed with the rows drawn, labeled and dated...I color them in and hang them on my porch as art...(dont laugh!)
before i had the string of lights i used a shop light too. it wasn't on the stand and i'd balance it on one of the posts. these lights are so much better, and more fun! i love the "feel" of a lit garden.
ReplyDeleteum, huge nerd...that sounds awesome! i should do the same. can you take a picture of one and email it to me?
I know - I love the glow of outdoor light strands! I almost wanted to put xmas lights around my fence, but your work shop lights are a better idea to actually get work done out there at night. Sure, I can email picts -but do you want a picture of the raised bed labeled or of the drawing of the bed? Is your email listed on this blog somewhere?
ReplyDeleteanon, your garden drawings are BEAUTIFUL! i would purchase them as postcards...or even on a linen dish cloth.
