Audrey Hepburn said it nicely. Families are forever & blessed be our tiny assistants first photos taken with garden tools in hand. <br />For 40 yrs+ I have kept calendars & added my gardens into them until they are almost all garden now. The maps were a new system added when the chickens & dogs decided tags were mere toys to be strewn about the yard! Now the digital photos on the "cloud"--they are the absolute best when the iris bloom if you use interesting shaped heavy stones or garden art for your bearing points but when they don't bloom or in the midst of transplanting dozens of rhizomes I am trying a system of color coded jewelry wires loosely wrapped around the rhizomes themselves. Will let you know how that works out. . .

That's true about not being able to keep track of things like feeding, amendments, etc.,--when I first started, I thought I'd surely be sure to remember that, but when the new season arrived, I couldn't, so that's when I started.

One of the necessary things was where all the drip lines went and where they are buried. Also all the shut-off valves and connections at the well.<br />I do keep a journal and have do so for years.
