LA205 - A Gardener's Journal
Everyone enjoys the pleasures of harvest, but the careful planning of the garden, and the satisfaction of watching each plant progress, are special joys savored by the gardener alone.
Because you will want to remember your gardening triumphs (and occasional setbacks), A Gardener's Journal is set up as a 10-year perpetual diary, which you may begin at any time.
In the diary section, one page is given to each day of the year, and each page is divided into 10 sections – more than enough for 10 years of personal jottings. In addition to the diary pages, there is also a section on such gardening techniques as composting, digging garden beds, tree care, soils, and garden tool maintenance, to name but a few. We also provide reference material and numerous charts.
There are several pages to record your inventory of perennials, more to record sketches of your garden, yet more to list plantings and harvestings, etc. In all, you will find 544 pages, most of which you can write upon. This format is designed to help you plan your way through years of gardening. Also, for your enjoyment, we have included intriguing notes on the history of plant lore, culled from arcane and often surprising sources.
Hardcover, Smyth sewn, and protected by a sturdy cloth binding, A Gardener's Journal is both a useful reference and your companion for gardening adventures. Measures 9" × 11". Published by Lee Valley.
The journal is a perpetual diary, which means it can be started at any time of year. Pages are not tied to a specific calendar year, so there is no need to wait for the new year to begin.
One page is given to each day of the year, and each page is divided into ten sections – one per year. This layout lets you compare notes from the same date across up to 10 growing seasons without flipping between volumes.
Yes, in addition to the diary pages there are sections covering composting, digging garden beds, tree care, soils and garden tool maintenance, as well as reference charts. There are also pages for perennial inventories, garden sketches and planting and harvesting records.
The journal uses Smyth-sewn binding, where the pages are stitched in place rather than glued. This allows the book to open flat for writing and ensures the binding holds through thousands of openings and years of use.
