Label Your Garden

March 18, 2012 by Cathi Leave a Comment

Label your garden!
What's sprouting? Who knows!

This is an area in which I am sadly lacking.  Please please, PLEASE! label your garden when you plant stuff.  Especially seeds.

I always think I’m going to remember what I planted where.  But do I?  No.

Recently I started some seeds in some cow pots.  I started summer squash, cucumbers, malabar spinach and green peppers.  When I was doing it I thought to myself, “I’ll remember what is in each pot.”

Famous last words.

As the seeds started to sprout it occurred to me that I would have no idea which plant was which.  Since I had specific places I wanted each thing to be planted, this was going to be a problem.

For instance, summer squash and cucumbers can become the plants that took over the world so it’s very important to put them where they won’t encroach other plants.

I think I have my cowpots figured out now, but I wish I would have labeled them.

Don’t do what I did.

Meet Cathi

After managing my strange hobbies for years living in the suburbs in an HOA, we finally bought 13.25 acres in rural Collin County, Texas.

We dubbed our piece of Texas "Nonsense Farm"
