Garden PA bought me a beautiful book from Lee Valley to keep (I think a five year) garden records ... that was about 3 years ago .. not a jot of a pen stroke is in it .. instead I have various simple ringed scribblers ? and random pieces of paper with notes that were supposed to be written down in said books ... BIG sigh ! what will be .. will be, as records .. and NO ! we never stop learning as gardeners and people on this planet. If that ever happened to me, it would mean I was not? on this planet any more but learning some where else ?

Your blog is a great record of your garden, right? Maybe not as detailed as a journal, a word document, or an excel file, but it does record garden activity from year to year. You have Galanthus blooming! Yay! If we can melt some snow up here, it will happen soon here, too. You give me hope.

Also, I have a computer document where I note new plants, their location, price and where they came from. I've been pretty good at keeping it up since starting this new garden but I am always coming across plants that I forgot to enter. That happened today! Fortunately it was a rose that I would know in the dark. But for some reason, it doesn't appear on my spreadsheet.
