Um. Me
I photograph everything with the digicam. The allotment pics usually
make it to my blog, and I've got plans for each plot on the PC so I
can keep track of the rotations.

I do that too. Different colours for the paths etc, and use the cells of an
exel doc to keep track of the rows etc.

But as to the labelling question, I bought a plant at an open garden and the
label was a white plastic one which had been painted matt black, and the
details scratched into the paint with a nail, giving white lettering on a
black background. It looks really classy and professional.
