i'm thrilled that you think so very highly of me that you think i'd
keep a
notebook. bg!

Snort! I thought everyone had at least one garden notebook! How else
do you keep notes on what works or when you put on white oil or
planted X tree or where you pasted your plant labels for that exotic
tree whose name you can never remember?

i use my abysmal memory, of course!!!

kylie (being organised really isn't my strong point!! i can't
emphasise that
enough!!!!)

I'll bet I can beat you hands down for being disorganised (I can lose
a shopping list between the kitchen and the car door) but I do keep up
my garden notebooks. I have 2 "notebooks' and lose one or the other
on a regular basis (that's how disorganised I am) but I can always
find at least one of them - that's where I keep my recipes for making
sprays of what works for what diseases etc. The other book that I
keep and never lose, is an "Any Year" diary and in that I write on the
appropriate date what year it is and what I've just planted and where
and what's in flower when (if I remember to do the flowering bit).

it sounds wonderful (except the bit where they get lost). i'm going to start
one, really. some time after that, i'll also weigh everything from fruit &
veg plants, for my heirloom seed-saving records of harvest-weight-per-plant
titter.
no, i will. one day.
