Whether you call it a garden planner, journal, notebook, or whatever, a garden journal can be as little or as much as you want it to be. There are some key items, though, that I would recommend every gardener keep in their journal to help them be successful in the garden and to reduce some of the frustration that sometimes comes with gardening.

Your journal can be anything you want it to be! It can be both a planner and a log, a place for notes and a place for reflection, or any or none of the above. My version of a garden journal has evolved into what it is and it works for me, but it may not necessarily work for you. So, as I go through what I like to keep in my planner in this episode, take from this list what you think you could benefit from and toss the rest. Use it for a season, then add or subtract from it during the next season based on your results. I’ll certainly tell you along the way which components I think are most important but, just like in the garden, it’s your dream. Cultivate it as you wish!

So, let’s dig in to what I keep in my garden journal.
