A journal is a place to record recounts of your day, thoughts and even ideas, and a gardening journal is no different. More and more people are starting their gardening journals in an effort to record the changes in their garden and keep on top of it throughout the year.
When should you start
If you don’t already have one, now is a great time to start your gardening journal. The journal itself can be as simple or as fancy as you like – the idea is to just get something down on paper. If you prefer writing notes digitally, this can also work.
Get the most out of your journal
Your gardening journal can be a place to record all the changes in your garden, as well as the steps you have been taking to care for it. Some of us may forget when the best time to plant certain flowers is, so a journal helps you keep track and look back to previous years to refresh yourself on tips and tricks. It can even keep track of when you last bought some new items, and whether it’s time to invest in some new Lifestyle garden furniture, for example.
Record problems in your garden too
As well as keeping track of all the good aspects of your garden, note down all the negatives too, such as pest problems or when certain plants need extra care. This way, you can try to avoid the negatives in the future and stay on top of your garden maintenance more effectively, making for a well-cared-for, attractive garden for you to enjoy.
