The Big Idea

Gardeners write down what happens! They keep a garden journal. How do you start one?

What to Write

Step one: What to Write. A garden journal records what you plant, when you plant it, and what happens. Note the dates, the weather, how much your plants grew, which pests visited, and when you harvested.

Pictures Too

Step two: Pictures Too. Add drawings and photos to your journal. Pictures show changes that words might miss, like the shape of a leaf or the color of a flower.

Looking Back

Step three: Looking Back. Next year, you can look back to see what worked and what to change. Gardeners and scientists use journals to find patterns across seasons.
