Each month includes:

• A front page of tips, tricks, and garden notes

Keeping a record of garden successes, lessons learned, harvest amounts, weather patterns, and planting times within the microclimates of your own property creates an invaluable reference. I have created reminders and spaces for recording those types of information on a regular basis throughout this "Homestead Garden Planner and Journal".
Many guides and worksheets are included workbook style, during the month in which they (according to me) ought to be completed. These include:

• Plants needed for my family's year supply (and yours)
• Canning and preserving a family's year supply
• Crop yields
• Harvest report: yields and lessons learned
• Food preservation summary for the year
• Seasonal planting guide
• Crop Rotation Chart
• Companion planting guide
• Spring, summer, & fall garden layout grids
• Seed inventory
• Seed starting schedule
• Sowing Guide
• Seed starting check-list
• Soil testing
• Seed germination temperature and timing
• Planting depth and spacing
• And many more!
