On my garden visits I often here, “That died”, “I don’t know what it was.”
During a garden visit to a property in Lake Cooroibah, I meet Cheryl who has a great way to keep track of the plants in her garden. She drew a mud map.
Hers was detailed, she had a large piece of paper and had drawn to scale her block. The names of the plants were recorded in the position they were planted.
Keeping this type of record can be useful. Having a record of what worked and what did not work in certain areas will guide future species selections.
Adding the month and year to your records will gauge growth and be a good indicator of which species are doing well.
Hope this helps, Michelle
