    Plant Reference Booklet

    (Please let me know if you are interested in the following offer If you’re interested, I will post the cost for doing this at a later date.)

    A plant reference booklet can be made for you on the plants in your garden.   You store the pages of the booklet in a binder keeping an up to date reference  to refer to on your garden.

    Of course you need to keep it up to date.  Sometimes I seem to be playing catch up with my records.   I need to know when I fertilized and what I used.  I am grateful that I have recorded the name of the product and how much I used.  This keeps me from over fertilizing which is just as important then doing nothing at all.

    I want to encourage you to write on the pages; the health, and growth of your plants as you tend to them, during the year.   Also, what you have done to maintain them and the results of your efforts.  This can be a yearly way of tracking the physical condition and vigor of your favorite plants.  It also gives you the strength to rid your garden of a poor plant.

    When I am taking a break, after spending some time working in my gardens; While  I am having a drink of water, I write in my record book what I have noticed going on while working.  Then I sit back listening and watching the activity of the birds and insects and enjoy.

    Contact me: I will e-mail you a questionnaire for you to fill out on the plants in your garden that you want to tract.  The botanical name of the plant would is the best way for accuracy, if you do not know the botanical, I will try to work with your common names, but  I will then need the area that you live in and the temperatures (highs and lows) that the plants deal with and what other information you have about the plant in question.  You might even need to e mail me a photo of the plant, flower and leaf, so I can be try to accurate with the information I send.

    I will send you a .pdf file booklet, with all the information that I have knowledge of, and have researched, on your plants.
