Hi Becky--Great article! In addition to your suggestions, I use the photo method for my bulb beds as well. I photograph the plants in each bed when they're blooming in the spring. On each photograph I note
the bulbs to dig up because they're no longer sending up blooms.
spaces where I want to plant more bulbs
the varieties I want to plant in the fall
Best of all, I know where the bulbs are located when I dig in fall and plant in spring.--Larry
