mnmat said:Yardman, I love your seed tray ideas. I just wish I had room for something like that. I also had a mailbox in my yard which I painted flowers on as a disguise. lol I've been thinking of building one of those mailbox covers that looks like a house for a corner of the yard.
My garden journal is a spreadsheet on my computer with about 16 and counting pages. Each page is labeled differently, one is the year where I keep track of new plantings and chores needed to do that year. Other pages consist of each garden around the house which I have named, with current plants and ideas for future plants and even long dead plants and why I think they died. Others pages are for winter sowing, container plants, plants that bees like, reseeders etc. You get the idea. Right now I'm researching privacy plants for along the alley. So I added a page labeled "hedges" and when I find something interesting I add it to the page along with a picture and a few growing facts.
The journal helps keep my mind organized otherwise all this gardening info would be like a bowl of spaghetti in my head! LOL
I also use Google calendar to remind me to feed, prune, spray and other chores that need to be done at a certain time. Otherwise I'd forget, for sure!
