I don’t know who needs to hear this but… label your plants now!

It’s February. Make your row markers now.

No, you will not remember what you planted where.

You know who you are.

Love & kisses! :green_heart:

But I’m definitely going to remember my seed starts without labels. No need to write them down at all. Nope. Definitely not.

My husband used to get so annoyed with me for doing that. Now I label most things… because obviously I’ll remember the ones that don’t have tags. :joy:

@Zen
My actual system: Label everything with tape and sharpie. Then write it all down on paper…

…in handwriting I can’t read two weeks later. Which is fine, because I probably lost the paper anyway.

I started using a note on my phone and it’s already saved me a couple of times this season.

@Nyx
I use a grease pencil/China marker on my jugs—only wipes off with oil.

I labeled my seed starts but completely forgot to label them when repotting. Then I had to move them around. Now I have different varieties of the same veggie, and I have no idea which is which. Chaos.

Why would you attack me in my own home like this?

Me: Accidentally pulling out all my nasturtiums because I thought they were weeds. :sob:

Omg, same. I once pulled out my corn seedlings thinking they were grass…

I only realized what they were after looking up young plant leaves. Wish I had the space to grow corn!

Does it really matter if I remember? As long as I only plant things I like, I’ll be happy with whatever grows!

Uh, thanks. My garden is still under four feet of snow, but I’ll get right on that. :upside_down_face:

I will! (Person who has never labeled anything before.)

Yes, I totally will… lol.

Me now: Laughing.

Me later: Crying.

I use the app Planter for my layout, then move everything to Google Sheets so I can keep track of each variety.

God, don’t @ me like this!!

(Took pictures, labeled them ‘well’… still have no idea where my perennials are now that they’ve died back.)
