In the past I have had very little success in keeping plants alive. But now that I have so much sun, it seems to be working much better. Still, there is much that I don't know, and many challenges to be overcome. So I decided that in order to learn how to better care for my plants, I need a good way of tracking their progress as I try to look after them. I've been keeping track of a few things like how many leaves there are on one branch of my jade tree, as a sort of indicator of success, but I think I need something more systematic.
Of course, it's a difficult time of year because most of them are meant to die within the next few weeks regardless of what I do. Terrible.
But anyway, above I am posting Round 1 of the current state of my plants.
