I’ve been reading quite a few blogs that mention gardening journals…but none really say what they write or, take note of. Specific seeds used & germination rate?
Planting dates?
Do you do this?
Do you maintain a journal?
Do they really help? and what the heck do you keep track of? I would honestly love some feedback on a way to organize a journal and what has been helpful to you…as there are times this gardening novice rack her brain trying to remember when I amended this or that, when to do it again.
I think it would be helpful for planning next springs garden, and I’d have the winter to set one up.
What works for you?

A journal is a great place to keep track of when you planted what, and where, and how well it did. That's what I use my blog for--I have a side bar listing for planting dates....one for harvest dates (when the cukes started rolling in, etc) and I also write what I did or didn't like. It's hard to remember from day to day, let alone next year. It's just a great record. You could do this in a plain notebook, online on a blog, or get a really pretty, special book. The hardest part is just starting. Good luck!
