Re: How to label in-ground banana plants?
I use a map, it doesn't help people who are out in the garden looking around very much, but its the best way I have found to keep track of all the relevant info regarding a plant.
It is very simple, I just draw the shape of my planting area, and then divide it into sections where a plant could potentially go. I then assign each potential planting location a fixed number, and when I plant something, I have a table I keep which has: what I planted, where I planted it (using the number system), when I planted it, and an area for notes. I can take my map out into the garden and easily see what is planted where, exactly how old it is and any other notes about it.
