I've been looking at a lot of tracker ideals and yours is one of the best I've seen. I am planning on making a journal for my daughter who just bought her first home. I will incorporate this along with a few other ideas such as birds-bees-butterflies; gifted plants; herbs, flowers, etc. I know she has fruit trees already :D I will also give her the link to you :D Cheers
Thank you Helen! My journalling, (and veg growing!) has been way more haphazard than usual during this last season for reasons we all know, but I hope to do more on bullet journalling in the garden next season - thank you so much for your lovely feedback.
Thank you, I really enjoyed your video! I have a small balcony patio garden and I live in a apartment in Salem Oregon, but I’m originally from London. It’s so nice to hear a lovely homegrown voice and accent lol. I’ve been growing vertically, and my patio is north facing so I’m trying to maximize and organize myself better as I’ve really just been winging it the best I can, which is stressful. I’m going to give this tracker a try this year. Also I’m trying to put together my notes from the last three years of growing what I can into a garden journal. I hope to start growing what I can year round and keep track of progress and problems. I really love your tracker idea! 💕
Hi there Amanda - great to connect! I had a very memorable camping trip around Oregon and Crater Lake when I lived over there a very long time ago (lived in Mass in early 90s). A beautiful State. Yes I think we all start off just experimenting like you've been doing- then once you know you've got the bug, that's when the journals come out :) Glad you liked the video and I hope your journalling helps with your growing. I love that you're working with your space - so many of us have challenges (mine are serious salt winds and pebbles for soil!). I have regular tears when everything goes wrong, but then pick myself up and get back into it. It's what we do eh?
@@CookingandCalm Hi there Susan, it was so good to hear back from you. It was a lovely surprise to learn you’ve lived in the US and traveled to Crater Lake, Oregon. I’m hoping to go there one day it looks so beautiful. I almost didn’t include in my comment that I lived over here, but for some reason I did, and I’m glad I did now! I can’t imagine how challenging that would be to deal with the salt winds and pebbles, but it truly does look like a lovely place to live where you are. I’m just finally sitting down to put my scribbled notes in the garden journal I’m starting. I’m using 3 GreenStalk 5 tier vertical planters on my patio, you might be interested in looking up their website so I’ll include that info. Its a very cool system for small spaces. It’s interesting how creative we have to be to work with our unique growing conditions, but I do love the challenge of it too...most of the time lol. Much love to you and God bless! greenstalkgarden.com/
Yes it's such a small world isn't it :) Crater lake is just amazing and my jaw literally dropped open when I got that first glimpse at the top. I hope you get to visit too. I'd love to see that growing system - so many different ways to get growing now. I love to hear how these things work in 'the real world' too. Keep me updated if you get a chance.
What a great way to track! I went out and bought a journal then freaked out for a moment when I could not find your video. You’re the only one I have seen with this tracker. What a great concept! Such a good video. I love listening to you. You could read bedtime stories for a living! :-) Thank you again for such a fun and educational idea!
Ah thank you! I love having the quick overview this tracker gives. So pleased that's given you some ideas on using your bullet journal in the garden. Good luck with your own journalling 👍👍👍
REALLY GREAT METHOD, GREAT IDEAS. THANK YOU. I STARTED PLANTING TOMATOES IN BUCKETS AND SO FAR HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL. WE CAN HAVE 100 DEGREE DAYS WHICH REALLY STRESS TOMATOES SO I HAVE THEM WHERE THEY DONT GET FULL SUN, PARTIALLY SHADE AND BUCKET RESEVOIRS HAVE REALLY HELPED.
This is such a help! Had my first growing season last year which was a case of sowing and planting and seeing what happened. This will be a great way to better plan and track, thanks.
This is a brilliant instructional to set up a journal. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm going to use this method as a part of my father's Christmas present.
Thanks so much for this great ideas. I was struggling with my garden journal, now I can make adjustments and keep all my info handy for seasons to come :)
Oh thank you Lissa - I have such an awful memory and the planning and journalling really helps me. I hope it’s given you some ideas and thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive comment.👍😊🙏
I'm about to start growing my own and love your idea for tracking. I've started a gardening journal and have incorporated your template. Many thanks for the great ideas! I'm a new subscriber. :)
Love this. I had an A6 book with a magnetic clip that I could put into my pocket and take around the garden and greenhouse with me. I did do a similar planner but I like the idea of the using colour keys and yours is more concise. Can you tell me what pens you use for the graphic?
Ah thank you so much. Yes it's nice to have a functional space for a bit of colouring-in. I am a bit of a pen addict so I can't remember exactly but i think likely it was either Faber Castell Pitt Fineliners or Tombow Mono drawing pen then for the colouring definitely the Tombow ABT Duel brush pens. I love those things :) I'm sure you'll build on this into something you love and it's so nice to look back on and see how things change over the years.
Oh great! Thank you Lisa. The number is the date/day of the month when I planted etc - this matters sometimes eg in February, the light really goes up after mid month in uk . Hope that helps. You won't regret setting up a tracking system - at first it all feels really slow and memorable, then suddenly everything happens at once and it all becomes a bit blurry! Good luck with your new adventure in veg growing !
@@CookingandCalm Thanks for clarifying. I added a section to my everyday planner with the bullet journal set up. I love playing with fonts, doodles, etc. and I'm new to gardening so this was the perfect time to run across your video! I started setting it up this afternoon and will keep watching your videos. I am in the US in Missouri - Thank you again.
You're welcome Lisa. I hope things are going ok over there in Missouri. It's a good time to take up growing some food - we can't all be self sufficient but even a little home grown food is so comforting. Take care of you.
Thank you. I tend to do a bit most days and then often spend longer on a weekend or if I have a day off . I just love being out in the garden. Beats typing away anyday :)
Me encanta no entendi algunas cosas porque con tu letra no pude traducir exactamente las letras y entender y aun asi entendi como la idea y asi la aplicare me faltaria poner en que bancal estan yo pongo por todos lados 😂 por ejemplo me nacieron muchos chiles serrano y pimientos y ya los sembre arrancare cuando tenga otra cosa que sembrar en ese lugar o si algunos van mas apagados voy a ir seleccionando me encanto tu cuaderno de huerto ojala pudiera entenderte pero el ingles no se me da nada
Gracias Verónica. Tampoco soy buena en español, así que estamos juntos en esto y racias a Dios por el traductor de Google. Su cultivo de pimiento suena increíble y me alegro que el diario haya ayudado. Espero que tengas una buena temporada de crecimiento. thank you Veronica - I am not good at Spanish either so we are in this together and thank goodness for google translate. Your pepper growing sounds amazing and I'm glad the diary helped. Hope you have a good growing season.
Hi there, I just use 'Sow' (yellow) whether or not it is sown indoors or direct. I can tell if it's been planted indoors as it will also have the green square a little later but if you could adapt it and have an extra key eg. SI (sow indoors) SD (sow direct) or similar . I hope that helps :)
@@CookingandCalm that’s actually what I did. One for “direct sow” and one for “container sow”. Thanks for the tips I really like the visual in my journal!
Hi Cindy- I like an A5 notebook with hardback for the garden - currently using Leuchtturm dot grid in Teal but also like A4 sometimes if I want to do more drawing and bigger planning space for the year. I'll put some links in the description

Glad it was helpful Ruth and I love all of your ideas. Your daughter is going to be so pleased! Happy new home to her and well wishes to you 😊
Very good. You could also add there when it blooms, or disease and prevention with a simple notation like a small drawing of a bug, flower, etc.
Thank you - that's a brilliant idea!
Great way of tracking your garden. Thanks for sharing. 🥒
My pleasure - glad you liked it
I love this method. I would love to see you do an entire year journaling this way, sowing, transplanting, harvesting, etc. The entire process!
Thank you Helen! My journalling, (and veg growing!) has been way more haphazard than usual during this last season for reasons we all know, but I hope to do more on bullet journalling in the garden next season - thank you so much for your lovely feedback.

I liked this so much, I created a table template in Word to print!
Wow - fab! Glad you like it
Wow that was awesome! Thanks!
Thanks so much Sandy - hope it helps with your veg
This is awesome!! thank you
You're so welcome Penny! Happy Bullet Journalling!

Thank you
You're welcome Mo
I really like your system for keeping track off each season.
Oh thank you Lissa - I have such an awful memory and the planning and journalling really helps me. I hope it’s given you some ideas and thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive comment.👍😊🙏
This is great...
Thanks! 😊
Thank you for many ideas! Just in time to create my new journal ☺️
You’re very welcome. Perfect time for planning :)
Excellent! thankyou.

@@CookingandCalm nice to find another pen addict 😂!
Always ✒️📒 😊
Perfect timing for my first garden! I must have missed it but what were the numbers you wrote in the colored boxes?
Oh great! Thank you Lisa. The number is the date/day of the month when I planted etc - this matters sometimes eg in February, the light really goes up after mid month in uk . Hope that helps.

Great idea! Do your work on your garden throughout the week or have a certain day for garden tasks like Saturday? Thank you!
Thank you. I tend to do a bit most days and then often spend longer on a weekend or if I have a day off . I just love being out in the garden. Beats typing away anyday :)
Great video!!!
Thanks so much for your positive comment. It’s good to grow the kindness right now 🌱😊🙏

For your key, what do you put if it is a direct seed to ground Sow?
Hi there, I just use 'Sow' (yellow) whether or not it is sown indoors or direct. I can tell if it's been planted indoors as it will also have the green square a little later but if you could adapt it and have an extra key eg. SI (sow indoors) SD (sow direct) or similar . I hope that helps :)
