Garden Journal

We have found it very beneficial to keep a garden journal from year to year. Just a simple blank book in which we record a list of all the seeds and plants that we've bought for the garden, the amount and variety of each seed/plant, the date which we plant each batch of vegetables and fruits, the yield which each item gives, and notes about what to do and what not to do next year. We also draw a sketch of the garden in the journal - numbering the rows and what's planted in each. The journal goes along with us each spring when we head to the greenhouse or farm store - makes one feel very smart to know exactly what we need!
