Nan, My mother gave me a beautiful hard-cover bound book that is a 10 year
garden diary.  Each page is dated (e.g. September 10) and has sections for
each of 10 years worth of notes including the weather/temp for the day.  Last
winter I used it for recording bird sightings at the feeder. I've been
horrible at keeping it up to date this summer but I really plan to mend my
ways.  It will be very useful in planning the next year's activities and
reminding me what worked and didn't.  She bought it at Lee Valley Tools (Lee
Valley has a mail-order catalogue).
