~ How to read the plantings list ~
Name: Listed alphabetically by a common name, and, when known, the Latin name.
- Status Pending – non-formatted common names mean I’m unsure if alive or not.
- Survivor – bold names have emerged from a ground sown seed, or an indoor/transplant lived a week past replanting. If death occurs after survivor designation: any survivors keep the name bold, if all are lost…then
struck out. Deceased– Plants where the entire attempt has shuffled off this mortal coil.
Sow Type
- ground – seed sown directly to ground
- indoor – seed/bulb/chitting/set started in jar/pot/egg carton indoors
- transplant – bought starters, tree saplings, or mature plants from on or off grounds
Date
Date(s) listed are when they were planted. Year noted when not of this year. Any dates in brackets [ ] are the date they were started indoors from seed.
Numbers (ex: 2/8 or 12/9/!)
- The first number is how many we started, regardless of sow type. A “?” next to the first number means we can’t find the count or forgot to note it.
- The latter number notes survivor total. A “!” denotes we are awaiting results.
- In cases where there are three numbers, first is total started in water, second is total germinated, third is survivor total. A “!” denotes we are awaiting results.
