The 'Observe and Grow Plant Journal' is a printable, one-pager for each plant type that holds space for both growing info and observations on a single page. You add in growing info specific to your area (on the bottom) and write your observations (on the top).
This is a single journal page, digital download. You can also purchase bundles of pages at a discounted price.
The bottom half is for growing info (timing, seed spacing, growing out - all the stuff on the back of the seed package or on your fave growing website) - all the info you need to begin to know the plant. This section has prompts for info to add and is left blank for you to fill in by hand.
If you prefer to type your growing info before printing, you may like these other designs.
The top half of each page is for observations about how the plant grows in your specific conditions - hand written on the hard copy. These are your golden nuggets of info that will help you grow each plant in your specific location. To start, I prompted some records of timing of sowing, germination, and transplanting, harvest time and then there's lots of space for other observations through the season. These could be things you want to remember for next year, like how many you planted, was it enough?, did a particular variety do well or poorly?
The field biologist and budding farmer in me got together to organize my learning about the many plants I'm learning to grow. And I'm sharing it with you! I keep my journal pages in a 3 ring binder near our garden shed or back door or wherever we are starting seeds and keeping records of how the plants develop. These will get dirty, so each printed paper page could go in a plastic sleeve or you could laser print/photo copy it on to Rite in the Rain paper.
