Choose your journal format: Select between physical options (ring binder, spiral notebook, composition book) or digital formats (apps, online journals). Consider what format will be easiest for you to maintain consistently.
Set up basic sections: Create sections for: garden layouts/plans, plant records, maintenance logs, seasonal observations, weather notes, and a calendar of garden tasks. Use dividers or separate sections to keep organized.
Record garden layout: Sketch or document your garden layout including plant locations, dimensions, and growing conditions. Update as changes are made. This helps with crop rotation and space planning.
Track plant details: For each plant, record: variety name, source, planting date, location, care requirements, and performance notes. Save plant tags and seed packets for reference.
Log maintenance activities: Document dates and details of fertilizing, pruning, pest control, watering schedules and other care tasks. Note what methods worked well or needed adjustment.
Make seasonal observations: Record bloom times, harvest dates, frost dates, and other seasonal patterns. Include photos to track plant growth and garden changes over time.
Note weather conditions: Track temperature, rainfall, humidity and other weather factors that affect your garden. This helps identify patterns and optimal growing conditions.
