This is a guide to teach you what you need to remember from one growing season to the next, and it provides ample space and options for recording all of your gardening plans, challenges and triumphs.
In theory, many gardeners would love to journal, but they skip the practice because they do not know what to record or when.This book removes the guesswork by providing lists of all the essential subjects to log.
Topics include plants in bloom and bloom cycles; starting from seed and tracking seed progress from germination to bloom; guides for staking and dividing your plants; planting diagrams; how to track when, where and what you purchased; and reference sections to list your favorite things, annuals you love (or do not), container plantings and more.
