- If you're anything like me, you have a lot of plants and only a little bit of brain space memory to remember what you have! Today I'm sharing 9 ways that I thought of to keep track of plants in the garden, starting with the simplest and moving from there.
How do YOU keep track of your plants in the garden? Do you use any special software or apps? A journal? photos? Tell us in the comments below what you've found to be a good way to document the things you have planted.

I loved your idea of keeping track of plants using the computer and photos.
Glad it helped!
I usually buy a bunch of stuff at once, without any idea where to put it, then I start panic planting when they need to get out of the containers. I end up not knowing what or where anything is.
Sounds incredibly familiar. 🤣
Now you are speaking my language. I have drawings. I have maps. I have spreadsheets. I have photos saved in the cloud as well as printed. I save reciepts, plant tags, magazine clippings,etc. I love gardening "on paper" before and after actually planting the plants. I garden in 3 different houses , so I need to stay organized. Don't get me started on how organized I am inside...lol. It's fun for me. As well as being useful.
I agree - it's fun to be organized!
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 thank you for sharing this video. God bless.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. Yes computer is key for me. I may have to do that. I appreciate you sharing Google Drive. I will be doing this in my down time when I’m not working with others gardens. Thanks for all the great information.
You are so welcome!
I did make a notebook but one thing i always to do is, if there is a plant tag I write on it where I put it ( general area at least). I have a clear plastic page protectors in the back of my notebook that I place these. THen when it is colder weather and I can't garden I write it in the notebook and on the diagrams that I have made. Great video!
That sounds like a great system. I tend to save up my plant tags too, and enter them into my lists/drawings in batches on rainy days or too hot days, etc. Thanks for sharing!
Lots of great ideas! Over the years I've planted into what looed like empty spaces only to realize there was a late blooming perennial there. Now I use plant labels in my garden patches. Just check all those indelible pens to make sure they are really waterproof. I just have to remember to have plant labels in my work basket when I head out to the garden.
yes, that's so true! I've overplanted a couple of times. Labels for the win!
Lots of good ideas. I save my plant tags in a little file box.
Great idea!
Love your transparency and humor...”who knows?”...... and this one “ who knows?!” ✌️🤣😂
It's just true!!!!
Love Suggestion #6. I will adopt this method this summer. Thank you!
Have fun!
89👍🙏🙏❤🌹I watched your channel for the first time. Your garden is very beautiful. I want to make my garden as beautiful as yours. I love the beautiful flowers in your garden ... I love to grow flowers .. it's my hobby. I give my utmost support to those who channel about the garden .. to the people who love the environment that I love the most .. they will be blessed to do beautiful things like this .. so have a nice day .. I am a friend ..
Thanks and welcome!
Good job.. I myself like surprises in my garden so I don't take any notes. Even when I throw seeds in the soil, I don't mark where I threw them. I think I learned this from David the Good on survival gardening. By the way, returning to your videos will help you remember in the future.
That's a totally fun way to do it!!!!! :-)
Love your channel! I'm on Long Island in zone 7! I stay organized by saving all plant tags in an envelope marked with the season and year of planting! It has worked for me for many years!
That sounds great - I have in the past been too scattered to make that method work, but I'm glad to hear it's possible to succeed with that method! :-)
Love all your work❣️ I’m a plant and garden journal person too. Like to go back and read what worked and what didn’t, lol And write notes when I pass plants to who. Always keep track of where and when I planted to keep track of divisions. I’m visual so I draw out everything in my sketchbook when I have an idea of what im doing and new designs. I keep photos with info. I keep all tags. When I plant I use rocks to label plants and seal. Rocks look good in garden.
Rocks sounds like a wonderful idea! Thanks so much for visiting and sharing your thoughts!
that sounds like an amazing book.
Impressive!!
Thanks!
New landscaping looks great!! I use a spreadsheet and an actual garden layout software...i can add plants or remove them if they die!! I like the spreadsheet or plant software to keep track of details!! Great winter project
What software do you use? I've tried using software in the past, but it slows me down a lot, and many of the plants I wanted to add weren't in the library, so I was frustrated.
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden I use Garden Planner. It is free and you get what you pay for...but I like having things mapped out. I am 100% sure it is faster to sketch it out than use the tool, but I enjoy playing with it! I did just recently realize that when I moved my data from my old laptop to new, I think I may have lost my plans...:(. Guess what I will be doing this winter! ha!
Yikes, way too much work, lol. I just keep the tags in my garden journal.
Well, for some people, it's fun... or addicting... etc. I tend to get excited about a method then it falls off after the first flush of fun... we'll see how this goes!
Excellent ideas Jenny 💕 I use journals, videos and labels 🏷 myself 🪴🌺🪴
Awesome, and thanks for watching!
Save my plant info in many of the same ways. Great information!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Hii
Very nice and informative tips
You shared.... I like your videos
Thanks a lot for sharing
So nice of you! Thanks for visiting!
Wow Jenny is gardening a passion or an obsession? You are better organized than some professional landscapers I know - yours is quite impressive : D
I haven't created a plan or SS from scratch but do know what it's like to buy a home with a plot diagram - *to scale and with a legend* - and it's wonderful!! Thanks for offering even more ideas on how to track one's landscaping (I'm fond of taking photo's then labeling.) Were you an Accountant in a former life or work for the IRS? It takes a special type of person to compile this much detail and not be employment related. I bet your photo albums are a thing of beauty! ; )
Hahahaha!!!! I do have a bit of an obsessive organizing gene somewhere in my DNA... except, I get all excited about it, then it languishes after a while. :-)
I think you need a drone to take pics of you gardens and at different seasons instead of drawings. You can then label the plants and log them in your journal . 😊
That would be awesome!!!!! Actually, my husband is researching which drone is best and we may end up getting one before too long. :-)
I don't keep up with the plants but I like the book you have I need one where can I get it
You can order them from Amazon. Here's a link (affiliate): amzn.to/3xj2fST
Omg 😆 As you’re going through all the ways I’m thinking wow I do that. I have almost every way you’ve covered. lol However, I still think to myself did I update when that died or I moved that plant or split it and added more of it to another spot. Surely there is a program out there to record all this for us…. 😩😩
hahaha - right? We need good, easy to use software!!!!
Hello!together!Master Jenny and family members and friends so much 👮😿💋👄❤📿👘👔👚👟🇺🇸
