I had hoped that my first one would last 2 years, but I started it last April and I only have enough space for May and maybe June. I do enjoy keeping track of what I sow, even if it occasionally results in failure - it's all a learning experience!

(The middle "notebook" is not gardening-related - I just took a photo of the whole order to show off to my stationery-loving friends)

I do try to keep it legible, so future me can still read it years down the line! Some pages are really neat, like this calendar page (note I did not draw the bumblebees - they're on a decorative tape):



OK, so it's all a bit fancy, but this is a sort of adjunct hobby to my gardening hobby - I don't have a lot of time at the moment to draw or paint (because gardening), so I put some effort on my garden notes instead. I'm usually good at starting notebooks but never finishing them, so it's been a lovely surprise to find I'm reaching the end of this current one!
