Keeping a Garden Log

On Mark Bittman’s NY Times blog Bitten, there’s an interesting article by Kerri Conan on keeping a garden log. She describes how she has kept garden logs that detail planting times and layouts. This is a great idea, I think, especially for a visual person like me.  http://bitten.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/19/tracking-the-garden/

Also, Gardener’s Supply has a great Kitchen Garden Planner. You can design the layout of your beds and they show you how much of each plant you can fit for maximum results. Or, just use one of their premade plans if you’re feeling lazy.  http://www.gardeners.com/Kitchen-Garden-Planner/kgp_home,default,pg.html

Also! This just in…there is a new group starting in Tallahassee: Homegrown Food . This group will get together and trade labor, equipment, seeds, and inspiration. For more information on the Homegrown Food group visit: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/homegrownfood/
