    Yo! And good day to you, brothers and sisters. Praise the lord.
    My question today is: do you keep a gardening diary, saying what you have done, and the date you did it?
    Sticking seeds in the ground for example, or burying a bulb.

    In a word...... NO.

    But I always put the sowing date on my seed labels. :blue thumb:

      I keep a small camera in my pocket and keep taking pics of sowing, planting, cropping, flowering, etc., etc. which I find a better record than a diary.

        I take lots of pics too. Made some errors this year, so I was just wondering what you guys do.
        May peace be with you both always.

        I keep a journal purely because I can ramble on freely in it without boring anyone to death.

          Oooo a journal :) very flash. I take photos but I think having it written down is quite nice to do.
          God bless you Lea. :)

                  I keep a normal diary for the sake of keeping one, as I have such a bad short term memory.

                    I have worshiped at the altar of Bill Gate's Excel since 2001, before that I used to keep a hand written diary. In theory I should never make the same mistake twice but I'm so busy with my spreadsheet OCD I forget to read what I did wrong last year :doh:
