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.
