A day late and a plant short

So I knew from previous experience that it was best to chart all your plants as soon you plant them. But I don't always learn from my own mistakes and did not do so immediately after planting. As a result of that I wasn't able to label two plants in my garden but somehow I think I will survive:) Below is an aerial view of my garden with varieties charted which will help me determine next year what varieties to get again/avoid.

I am basically done short of adding the tomato ladders. In an effort to prevent weeds and the maintenance they require I am going to plant moss between the slate stones of our patio which you can see smidge of near the bottom of the photo above. Hopefully I can find moss, I know my mother and aunt searched extensively for it before to no avail, and took to looking for it in strange opportunistic places such a sidewalk cracks and in the woods. I did want to plant Rhubarb but was unable to find any. I contemplated ordering a plant but read that they do not like soggy soil. Considering my back yards soil has a lot of clay I would have to consider building a makeshift raised planter to allow better drainage. Not sure if I like Rhubarb quite that much.
