A gardening journal helps gardeners improve their efforts over time by providing a historical record of actions taken, the weather and other elements and the results. Example data points Some data points worth tracking: * planting dates * transplanting dates * source and cost information for plants and seeds * weather particulars such as rainfall, frost dates and results * plant characteristics, date of germination, date they emerge in spring, appearance of blooms * date of harvest (for vegetables) or cut flowers taken * date and type of fertilizer or other chemicals applied, and to which plants * observations * photographs Famous gardening journals Among the most famous keepers of gardening journals are Thomas Jefferson and Vita Sackville-West. Sackville-Wests' gardens at Sissinghurst Castle are kept today based on her written details. Mr. Jefferson's garden journals are available from the Monticello Society as a book. See Also
