I think that it is just a great idea to keep that garden journal so that you can see what you have done in hears past…see what has worked and what didn’t work. Also see what you had bought for your flowers and plants and what has come back and even where you planted them. I don’t know about you but I always see to forget from year to year where I had planted certain things that you can not see because they have not grown yet for that season. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy although…they do sell gardening journals for just that.
