I plan sort of. I have a garden blueprint from 10 yrs. ago. I spent many hours making it. Without this I would not know where anything is. At the end of each season I do a rough "inventory" of everything that has been added and where (roughly) then put it away until January. Then out it comes along with the photos from the garden last season and I plan what I need, wish and want for this year. It's my greatest tool because as the garden matures, my memory fades of what I put last year or 3 years ago. It helps but like others who have spoken before me - if I don't like a look, I change it. In the fall the master blueprint gets changed to reflect what I have done. It sounds tedious and time consuming but each fall it takes about 1 hour to mark the changes on the plan; but it saves hours and hours of work in the spring - because I know where all the holes and nooks are that need a little something.

Andy, thanks for your thoughts. I have grafted and own-root roses and both do very well. But some people here at the Far North stick with own-root because they perform better in their location. Multiflora is definitely the best rootstock for our climate. This past fall I dug up 3 old, grafted hybrid teas and they had very clearly formed their own roots as well as using the rootstock. It was actually very interesting to see. (I dug them up to move them to my new house BTW, not to dispose of them). According to HelpMeFind, some of the rarer Bugnets are on display at Roseraie du Témis in Quebec. Wow I would like to visit there. Here is a link that might be useful: Roserie d. T.

Tended App is a free option for vegetable, fruit, and herb gardening: https://www.tendedapp.com/ It's web-based, so works on computers, tablets, and phones. It lets you visually design a garden (including across different seasons, so you could keep track for crop rotation purposes), track your inputs and outputs/harvests, and lets you see other gardeners' layouts as well. There's also basic task management on a calendar view, the ability to upload photos, etc.

I started with a spreadsheet. It turned into too much info to remember and my laptop is not easily accessible in the garden, so it was all but useless.  :-)  So now I keep notes on my phone. One note contains an inventory of plants within each garden section of my yard, listed according to when they bloom. Then a Garden Care note, which contains a seasonal maintenance checklist for relevant plants. The third note is a general To Dos - random upkeep, transplants, or dividing I listed last year that I wanted to accomplish this year, new plants I want to consider, etc., according to the season in which they should ideally happen. Finally, I have a whole folder of bookmarks in my browser sectioned off for plants I want to buy, those I have, and related care. If I type "nepeta" into my browser, all related bookmarks appear. Or I can hunt for what I need in the bookmarks manually. It took a little time to build - researching and bookmarking for each plant tag - but totally worth it! When I'm in the garden, there's pretty much nothing now that I don't have on my phone and I can make notes for the next week, the next season or next year when it's fresh on my mind, along with relevant pics (oh! I have a gardening section of photos by year too!). I may win the "too much time on my hands" contest now, lol!
