That is the best way to keep up with it. You've posted it here now, so you certainly won't lose it!

Every year I'd have tags to come loose or get misplaced and I learned that the best way is still to have tags, but also more importantly to have a garden notebook and have it all written down AS YOU PLANT IT. Don't rely on memory. Then take pictures of it, copy it to a computer document, or have some other back up.

Good going!

You guys have some very cool varieties...some that I should have planted myself (like Big Beef). I only plant out around 7-8 varieties (which is plenty for us). I insist on my Cherokee Purple every year. Wish I could have found Suddoth (sp?) Brandywine. I am a bit concerned for my Mortgage Lifter which hasn't set any fruit yet. Many of you guys touted that one.

one year i marked all my plants with the little white burpee tags. They actually lasted all season however the permanent marker was completely gone and there was no way to identify plants

year 2 i wrote everything down proceeded to lose the paper

over time i've learned to back up everything on my desktop and cell phone and online like here at tomatoville and keep the papers in my desk....

I'm trying mortgage lifter for the first time this season and its a grafted plant ordered from burpee. My season is just getting started so i'm no where near fruiting stage. Hope everything works out for you

Great system.

I woke up to posting more pix and data online after computer crashed and my biggest regret and first thought was, all those tomato pix for nought.

My handwritten notes look like yours too. Plus the dirt, the crumpling... ah. I put my garlic beds on card stock, they are getting to be as complicated as the tomatoes.

I notice you've grown a lot of grafted plants over the years. Does it make a big difference for you?

TightenUp · March 13, 2016

honestly Bower I don't see a benefit to the grafted plants in my area. No soil born disease here. The plants did great but for me but not worth the expense.

on top of that there must have been a mix upp at some point because my grafted plants were producing incorrect fruit. Example - my gardeners delight turned out to be a huge yellow.

I'd rather start my own from seed and know what I'm growing

and darn I always forget to keep track of my garlic....
