Garden Diary

Speaking of books - This year I am being scientific - or am I just being more disciplined?  Anyway, as I find info on the net, I have printed it, and put it in a loose leaf notebook.  So each kind of plant that I start from seed has it's own section in the book (in alphabetical order).  Then, as I do whatever with those plants, I make a note of the date, what I did, and any other info that might be pertinent.  When I need to take care of a certain kind of plant, it is good to have the info in one place for a particular species.  Also, it is fun to see how long it took for them to come up, get to transplant stage, big enough to pinch back, etc.  Also, my handsome prince likes to keep a weather diary.  So I have coerced him into also keeping a record of the high and low temps in the greenhouse for each day. :-)  I will share some of this info with you when we talk about specific kinds of plants.
