I've opted to simply keep My List focused on plants I actually have. It would be depressing to list all the ones I've killed, likely more than I currently have, and if I listed all the ones I want, that would likewise make the list rather unmanageable. I previously kept my own database in chart form Word files, but have now cross-checked that to ATP My List. I have decided it is easier to only use the ATP feature for my personal database, primarily because I can access it easily while away from home (my Nook has internet capability). That was a bit of a scary step for me, as my Word database was developed over many years, but eliminates the need for double entries when I get new plants. And the ATP database has the advantage of more complete information than my personal database contained. I use the personal comment section to note where things are located and other information specific to my gardens. I am currently working on adding general plant comments to the ATP database if I can come up with anything useful to share. Good rainy day winter project.
