I resisted keeping a journal for years but this really is the crucial step to making your gardening experience easier and better year after year. There are so many things you will forget because you may only do them once or twice a year. There may be mistakes that you make that you will repeat because you forget to note it somewhere. There could be great successes that you can’t replicate because you forgot the date or variety that you planted. It is important to make your own notes and observations about what works in your area and microclimate. Your own little corner of the world, with your specific temperature fluctuations, your shade and light conditions, your specific soil nutrient makeup will create conditions that are unique to you and only you. Gardening books, podcasts, classes and videos can only get you so far. The fine tuning comes from your own experience, and we can only glean from that with good notes.
Now you can take your own notes using our time tested garden journal set up and design. We help you organize your information in a way that will be helpful in the short term, and indispensable in the long term. This blank journal comes with 44 pages and since it’s digital, you can print extras of any section.
