The solution to keep my vegetable garden organized for years to come? Enter the vegetable garden journal.Īdmittedly, I should have started a vegetable garden journal back in the spring, but a gal has got to start somewhere, right? What is a Vegetable Garden Journal? And I learned that while Lacinato kale grows well in my garden, we absolutely despise the taste.īut will I remember that next spring? Probably not. Next year, I’ll struggle to recall – Which crops did I plant? Was there enough of it? Did it grow well? For example, arugula grew amazingly in my garden, so I need more than this year’s 6 seedlings. Next year I can’t wait to plant another larger vegetable garden.īut here’s the problem. Some crops are growing like crazy, others are just stunted sprouts.

And instead of the short-list of peppers and tomatoes, I planted a wider variety of veggies – eggplants, radishes, onions, lettuces, leeks, gerkins, celery, carrots, garlic, watermelon.Īnd now it’s the end of July. So this spring, I bought and sowed seeds for the first time. I was nervous that the trend would continue through the summer and my family wouldn’t have fresh fruits and veggies available. Fresh Produce: In spring when covid-10 first hit, my grocery store struggled keeping fresh produce stocked on the shelves.Quality Time: The whole family was home more (as were so many of us) so gardening was a perfect way to simultaneously occupy them and work on the house.Nothing too spectacular – a couple of tomato, cucumber and peppers, bought as seedlings from a big box home improvement store.īut this year with Covid-19 I dug more seriously into gardening (pun intended).
