A veg gardener, I do three rounds a day. First I water and inspect. then I weed the onions (the only crop with which I don't use mulching plastic—which has an annoyng tendency to billow in a breeze and lift young plants I've just put out) and finally, in the evening, I put the garden to bed. Just this year I succeeded in using a wordpress blog to record things like weather, to-do lists and progress. I finally managed to make room for it in my daily routine, though the first year I was a miserable failure at keeping up. I'd be using a camera as well, but the battery contacts on mine totally corroded away. I will occasionally get out a hundred foot extension cord and use it for the camera, but that's an awful bother. A decent camcorder is on my wishlist. If you want to see what can be done with video, just check out the thiving community of British allotmenteers on YouTube. They're marvelous.
