Time to Inventory the Garden

It's time to start thinking about transitioning your pots and gardens into a new season. Before you begin, its the perfect opportunity to evaluate what performed great, and what were the duds.

You may be convinced that you'll remember what you planted next year, and what did well, but I think when Spring excitement starts, most people forget what was going on in the garden two seasons ago.

If you have a camera, take some pictures of your containers, your annual beds. and your perennials. If you know the names of the plants I've created a simple inventory spreadsheet were you can keep notes. You'll be amazed at how much time you'll save next year by filling it out.
You can see the spreadsheet below, but I've also created two other links. One is to access the full screen version, and the second is the excel spreadsheet version. (The excel version has a few extra features) If anyone wants to fill their's out and email it too me, I'll post it for my blog readers. I'm also open to suggestions as to modifying the form.
