As experienced gardeners know, keeping track of your garden is essential to improving it. If you are diligent about keeping records, you can easily duplicate successes and avoid failures. Rather than being arranged chronologically, as virtually every gardening notebook until now has been, this journal is arranged by crop. Each crop is introduced with sage advice and insightful tips gleaned from the author's more than 40 years of farming and gardening experience, followed by note space for recording varietal, planting, weather, pest, harvest, and flavor data. Add notes year after year to create what will become a customized planner for your specific garden. At the front of the book are useful quick reference tables, space to record essential information such as first and last frost dates, and grid paper to sketch out garden layouts and crop rotations. At the back of the book, you'll find additional space for notetaking. With charming illustrations, high-quality paper, and a lay-flat binding, this journal is a pleasure to use. Makes an excellent gift for any vegetable gardener. 208 pages.
