Do you keep a garden journal? If so, what do you use it for?
I have kept a garden journal in the past, but really, it’s far too organized of me – I abandoned the exercise a couple of years ago. I did use mine for recording the varieties of seeds planted – and their success or failure in the garden – as well as sketching out design ideas. One thing that worked well for me was to include a rough site plan, with existing plants and trees marked, and then whenever I acquired a new plant I’d mark it and glue in the plant label. See – far too organized!

I used to glue seed packets and plastic lables in a journal…but now I just have a drawer where I stack them. Actually I find the blog to be a useful journal…I can go back and see when I did what last year for some things.
