Go on, JJB - you know you want to.
For July, I've used the first page as a reminder of things to do in the month - basically, that its the Start of Second Spring and time to sow quick maturing veg sown in March/April and Fennel, Spinach and Oriental veg that would bolt earlier in the year.
Second page is the Highlights page -Just a line a day if anything happens
Page 3>>, I write something for each day, however many lines it takes - and draw a line after each day. Some pages have 3-4 days on.
Because I'm using the book as a mouse pad, its always there, like a conscience, ready to do the "write" thing.

Veggie, I'm shocked to my core...this sounds so extremely organized! Is this where all of those impulses gather?
Since its too hot outdoors, I'm browsing through one of my old diaries - 2013 actually. Not just browsing but tearing out the pages with something written on. I'll put them in a folder to make it easier to read - and not have to flick through all the blank pages.
There's only one entry in July - 26th when I sowed in Modules all sorts of veg, including Bijou M/T, Runner Beans and Courgettes. Nothing changes.
Wonder if they were a success or not?
Looking at the spreadsheet/plans I had last year and whats been achieved results are a tad disappointing but there are successes, and that spurs me on
I put the disappointments / failures down to me rather than the seeds
We've said it before - there's no such thing as failures - they're lessons, from which you can learn - or not.
Remember this Nutty Idea - a "Diary for a month"? Started in June 2021?
I'm reading last year's now and adding to it for 2022.
Have to admit that it fizzled out in the winter and I didn't start any Monthly Diaries at the beginning of the year but, someone gave me a free diary for 2022 and I wrote in that. I'll transfer those entries into books for the missing months.
Good to read that I'm picking strawberries now but last year had to wait until mid-month.
I'm still tempted by your book to a month idea. I have added a section at the end of my daily wittering book for the useful notes on each of the crops. This might prevent me having to trawl through a whole year just to find a single tit bit of info.
