It seems like every gardening article I read lately devotes the first few paragraphs to extolling the virtues of good record keeping--especially articles about seed starting and veggie garden planning.

This weekend, I decided to actually read those paragraphs instead of skipping to the fun stuff. And I realized that if you do all your paperwork when it's freezing outside, it's a lot of fun. And I'm convinced that I'm going to get a better yield this summer thanks to all my hard work and foresight. If only I took the same kind of pleasure in balancing my checkbook...

Here are some articles I've been reading lately:

I keep extensive records, including date seeded, transplant date, harvest dates and amounts and notes on how things grew (or failed to grow),their taste and what was done to the beds and when.
