Good morning all,
Melanie Vassallo, Long Island NY zone
6b
Another list I belong to asks that we begin each
posting with our name, location and zone. It really does help when talking about
gardening so I'll stick to that format here.
Thanks Lon for setting up this list!
Thought I'd begin the day with a question about
labels/markers. How do you feel about labeling your plants?
Here in my garden I have about 500 daylilies
cultivars, they are all labeled with metal markers, an expensive job. In
order to keep my status as a Display Garden for the American Hemerocallis
Society I have to label each daylily in a certain way. I also collect
Hosta, Sedum, Geraniums, Pulmonaria, Heuchera, Tradescantia and so much
more, many of them are not labeled well at all.
I can't stand the look of those metal markers all
winter and especially now in the spring. What kind of alternative is there? Just
sticking the plastic tag from the original pot isn't working well at all, I've
lost the name of so many different cultivars.
Several 100 people tour this garden in June and
July so having the names on the plants makes it much easier. I'm expecting a
large group the first week of June and want to have things ready for them. Even
if the name isn't sticking up out of the plant, it makes it easier for me if I
know I can just push aside the foliage for the cultivar name.
Has anybody tried painting or marking the names
onto flat stones? We can go to the beach and get beautiful stones from there.
Spreading manure today,
Melanie
