When I was planting the actual shrubs and things, I made sure that I had the plan nearby and that I was following it, since I took a lot of time to create said plan.
I love to make it up in the fly, and go with what I feel in the moment. In this case, going “off piste” would have had carry-on effects on the location of every other plant on the plan. That threat was enough to keep me on track, even when I was sorely tempted.
I layered the planting layout on some stiff cardboard and wrapped it in kitchen plastic wrap to keep it from getting wet or dirty.
