Writing in a journal is a great way to keep track of just about everything, including gardening. There are many tasks involved with gardening that need to be recorded so that gardening efforts pay off. Tasks such as planting seeds, fertilizing, weeding, and other similar garden chores are better kept up on when the gardener knows when to repeat certain chores. Another reason a Vegetable Garden Journal is handy to keep is so that success can be recorded for future reference
