RE: Phenology


I keep a garden journal, weekly.  It is absolutely INVALUABLE for looking
back to see when things typically bloom, for creating wonderful plant
combinations, etc.  Nice to know the weather pattern too, but mostly bloom
succession.

It's also very helpful to remember when you planted things, etc., as far as
maturity, etc.

For mine is just a little old fashioned garden where the 
flowers come together to praise the Lord and teach all 
who look upon them to do likewise.
