Staples 2009

Staples mark positions in the Common Garden where plants have died. Our policy has been to add a staple to a position where a plant has not been found for 3 years. This year, we've followed that protocol for the Inbreeding and INB2 gardens. However, we have added staples in Big Batch, 2001, SPP, Monica's, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 1999s where plants have only been "Can't Find" for TWO years. This should minimize the time it takes to search positions. We hope that plants and staples won't both be found at the same position in the future.
