Have you ever planted something and couldn't remember where it was the following spring. It's happened to me as well. I had some unusual plants given to me this spring, and added some others I've been wanting to plant for a while. In order to ensure I don't dig them up next spring to plant something new, I undertook to "map" out the garden. This is not a detailed grid map, but rather a list of plants in each of the beds. I hope this will serve as sufficient reminder next spring.
I did not include anything I know won't survive the winter outside here in Niagara.
