This gardening journal was created to be the exact system I've used for decades to keep my garden running smoothly, season after season.
Whether you use it on its own or alongside Seed to Plate: A Homesteading Gardening Guide and Cookbook, this journal is designed to help you slow down, observe, and truly learn your land. It's not just a place to write things down-it's a working record of what you plant, what thrives, what struggles, and what you'll do differently next year.
Inside, you'll find space to track planting dates, seed varieties, sources, and garden layout, along with dedicated sections for seed saving, harvest notes, weather observations, and personal reflections. There's room for the details that matter-the small adjustments, the lessons learned, and the rhythms of your growing seasons that no one else can tell you but your own garden.
Used with Seed to Plate, this journal becomes the hands-on companion-where the guidance from the book turns into lived experience. Used on its own, it stands as a simple, practical tool for anyone who wants to grow food intentionally, preserve knowledge, and build confidence year after year.
This journal is meant to be written in, referenced often, and kept for years to come. Over time, it becomes one of your most valuable gardening tools-a personal record of your homestead, your harvests, and your journey toward a more rooted, self-sufficient life.
