2011 Garden Journal

  Last year I posted about the importance of keeping a garden journal to remind yourself of what you planted, how much it produced, what you did well vs. what you did wrong, etc.

I should have posted this at the end of the season, but here is my complete journal for 2011.

I was in the middle of moving into a new home so I planted / transplanted everything into the garden during the first week of June.

I didn't lose any plants due to frost damage.

Start by taking the dimensions, and mapping it out:

I also like to use pictures.  It helps me remember exactly how many plants I had when I look back on previous years.
