For the last I-don't-know-how-many years my parents - avid gardeners - have kept a garden journal in a day-to-a-page undated - each day of each month just has a number against it, not a named day of the week. Each of their entries on any given date starts with a note of what year the note is made, and what happened in the garden that day that was worth recording - seed potatoes planted; new hens arrived; heard the first cuckoo; record-breaking cherry harvest - and so on. I really love the idea, and it's a fabulous record of their beautiful garden.
Over time it has given amazing insight into the turning of the seasons - how late this year's spring was compared to last year's, for example.
Loved this post, Amanda!

I always mean to do this and I really hope this will be the year I start. It's never too late, right?!?
😊 Never too late! 🌱
