I am always amazed each year with hyacinths. They are SO strong, but SO tiny.

Oh.

I have trouble imaging how you can keep track of names. I realize that plants existing on the property and your successful efforts at propagating from bouquets will limit your "catalog." Perhaps, you keep receipts for years, as I do — not an especially good technique. I couldn't keep names available for several dozen dahlias, and I had well over 1,000 sqft of them growing .

Your garden journal? Oh my! Very Useful ... I used the moments before I fell asleep after stretching out in bed, when I kept journal ... on a irregular schedule .... maybe once or twice a week ..... over the course of about 3 or 4 years. Good for You, Phaedra! The information, local and personal, will have continuing value.

Yes, I had trouble keep track of names before this year, but I made a list with photos when I placed orders last autumn. And the garden journal also helps a lot - whatever related to the garden will be written down, otherwise I can't even remember when and where I order some plants or tools. I started this one from last November, and it's so good to have something to go back and check easily.

The same bouquet, but the tulips are blossoming now, and it looks complete.
