I have been an enthusiastic if not overly successful gardener for several years now, and recognized last summer that having some sort of gardening journal would be very helpful. I have taken notes on scraps of paper and notebooks which are never handy when I need them and are not in any kind of chronological order. When I'm trying to figure out when to plant certain seeds, or when I put my tomatoes in last year, the chronology really helps. And since I'm always online, an online gardening journal makes the most sense.
So here I am a year later. I'm not sure if anyone else will find these things interesting, but by way of introduction, let me say that I am gardening in Midcoast Maine, just north of Portland. We have a very short growing season here, with light frosts dragging into June sometimes and starting up again in late September. This makes gardening a real challenge, but having no green and bright colors for more than six months of the year makes me an eager gardener. You might even call me a "gaga gardener"...and these are my garden stories.
