Hi Cheri,
Could you hide marked popsicle sticks in between the foliage of other plants to mark your bulbs? That might help. You might need to replace them over time or maybe you can come up with something similar in plastic like plant tags. Wishing you the best.
Since they come back every year, while they are up, put in short plastic markers that state what each one is just in front or behind each plant. They will be covered up while they are up during the growing season and when they are down for the cooler weather you will have the markers to tell you where and what is planted.
A real project: take really good “overhead” photos and have Walgreens blow them up to at least 16”x20”. If your gardens are extensive take sectioned photos.
Get some architects tracing paper and mark on that what those plants are. You might even want to use tracing paper with a grid. You can have a few sheets for each section per seasonal blooming.
Or use doctors tongue depressors, mark the plant name and coat with clear nail polish.
HI Cheri. I would make markers and label them. Then out them by the plants before they die off.
You could draw yourself a sketch as to the layout of your plants and refer to it when you want to plant something else. You could also use garden markers which could be plastic, which will last longer, or wood.
The simplest solution is to mark where the bulbs are.....
Put in decorative plastic markers while the plants are up.
Save disposable plastic spoons, knives, use these to mark the spots.
i cut up white laundry soap containers to make my plant markers....the empty ones of course.
