Wow, Larry, that is a lot of angst! I have never kept records of any kind beyond haphazard markers, half of which get pulled up and moved around during cleanup. ( and saved receipts from Daylily orders).I take a lot of photos and that's about it. But my goal this coming summer is to try to figure out what I have, where it is and what needs to be moved. Maybe in a few years I'll be stressing registered height, bud count, branching and all the rest of it but right now that seems like too much work as I'm not a nursery, just a back yard aficionado. With no computer so plant step isn't an option. But I do like a pad and pencil for notes. And photos are invaluable.
