I have LOVED starting my first garden this year and am excited to start tracking the progress!! Any tips for a garden newbie?? 🍀🍀
All such great ideas, I do want to start a veg garden at some point in the future so this is really useful! 💗

THESE ARE SUCH GREAT IDEAS 😍 I have zero knowledge for gardening but this one was definitely a fun video to watch. I really love the alternating tabs, such a nice and subtle way to add contrast 🌱

So great! I made myself a perpetual garden planner from a regular weekly/monthly planner on sale this summer. It had a pretty botanical look. All I did was white out all the year and days, leaving only the numerical dates. Then I could see every month and write out key plantings, frost dates, projects… also having the daily pages to write lots of notes while in the garden. This way over a few years I can build up a record of things like when the first fig ripened, mistakes, successes, and improvements. I’m loving having this record.

I love this, need to redo my garden planner, that has fallen asleep since autumn. Btw. I really love your channel, just found you and there're so much helpful videos about the BuJo. Really like your spreads a lot, was surprised, that you have so few subscribers. All the best for you for 2023!

I am very inspired by your garden journal. I grew a little last year and I am taking on more this year. This will help me a lot. Thanks.
Very good info! Thank you!
This is a great layout, TFS 🙂
