There is nothing quite as embarrassing as talking about a hobby with someone who knows far more than you do. Very quickly, you discover you are way out of your depth in the conversation and you realize you are not in fact, the most zealous hobbyist in this field. Well you can save yourself this embarrassment with your garden with a few simple steps. When you buy seedlings or plants, they all come with that little white plastic stick which gives you the name of the plant, how far apart to plant them, the best climate suited to them, and watering recommendations for your Los Gatos Landscape Designer. Keep a little gardening journal with you outside while you are planting, or transplanting and jot down this info for each plant. Then when you transfer the seedlings to the garden, also plant this little marker with the plants. That way when people ask you will know exactly which plant it is, what it is called and what kind of care it needs. It is a handy way of keeping track of plant information in your garden and can help you appear the expert.
