I would really appreciate any answers to the following questions, and
any comments about my idea

What is your biggest problem with gardening and the gardening process?


Back ache

What is the hardest thing to remember when gardening?


What day of the week it is. :-)

Do you document plants as they grow?


No, noted when planted and what crop we get at the end so we can compare
varieties etc.

How do you remember what plants you planted?


Big wooden labels and Dymo. Also our "Allotment Book" in which we note all
plantings, dates, amounts, varieties etc.

What are the most common things you need to remember when taking care
of a garden, ie nutrition, type of fertilizer, ect.


The individual plants requirements, i.e. pH, moisture, sun/shade, temp
range, soil type, .....

What are the most important things you need to do before starting to
plant seeds for your garden?


Save them or buy them. Then decide where they are to go in the 4 year
rotation.

Are there different ways you need to treat plants that you grow outside
then in a greenhouse?


Ones in a greenhouse rely totally on you for everything, those outside
don't, unless they are in pots.
