I left a long comment yesterday about reading Thomas Jefferson's garden journal (even before I saw Annie's comment) and somehow it doesn't seem to get sent. Was it because I was reading via the Blotanical reader instead of directly.

They are some of the first perennials to bloom in my garden, other than the bulbs.<BR/><BR/>Lisa, Really, I'm a little wordy?

I've kept a regular journal since college, but never an exclusive garden journal, so this is a new experience. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to guess that April 22 is genuine, the rest fake.

But I'd venture to say that number 1 is fake because : I don't think the lawn would have grown enough to mow when it's in the 50's in May and I don't think you'd water pots to protect them from frost-you'd bring them in or cover them.<BR/><BR/>As to you sitting in a lotus position admiring your newly mowed lawn, perhaps the 70 degree temperature had something to do Sweet Home and Garden Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026451200405491815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-58930724222359028752008-01-26T10:18:00.000-05:002008-01-26T10:18:00.000-05:00Now that is a garden journal I like!

I'm planning on posting about my adventures in gardening journaling. I'm on my 2d book like yours. While the amount and length of entries varies greatly with the seasons, major events in life and major work on the house are noted inside.

This year at Christmas I asked for a journal like the one you use. <BR/><BR/>We had just been reading my DB's Grandfather's journal much like this one. It is such a treasure.
