They originally were all in spiral bound notebooks and done with a pencil or pen (colored pencils for the garden plan drawings!). I then migrated to spreadsheets for certain items and the old manual process for everything else. Fast forward to today - I keep spreadsheets on the harvest tally and I do my garden drawing plan electronically, but everything (including those items) are recapped and noted at various places in my website. I have a calendar that I make notations on daily - planting events, garden tasks/projects, harvests and even what I did with the harvest! Its an integrated approach - much like my notebook of the past was - but online. I think keeping records is important too. It helps us to learn from experience - since we can review what happeneed in previous years.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-18463352036940043002011-03-06T06:53:16.373-05:002011-03-06T06:53:16.373-05:00I make various attempts to keep track each year.

I had decided I need to do better this year, so this post is timely.

Not sure what happened, but they got huge too fast. I just planted greens in the ground yesterday so that gives me a place to start.

I think I'll do what you do and just draw up a final "this is where it ended up" plan.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597093453934852571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-3292584487856385872011-03-03T16:38:54.002-05:002011-03-03T16:38:54.002-05:00We'll take your green beans, we love them.
