A good vegetable garden planner will help you organize your season!
My goal is to grow as much food as possible and an important aspect of that is the garden planning stages.
Garden planning helps to guide you through your season, it also means creating goals and being mindful of when you plant your seeds instead of just throwing them in the ground in the spring. Practicing succession sowing for example, where you follow crops after each other to spread out harvests and preserve, requires garden planning.
If you’re wanting to get the most from your garden, using a vegetable garden planner will help!
Importance of Vegetable Garden Planners
- When to start your seeds
- Time to plant your seeds or seedlings into the garden
- Seed inventory is and what seeds you need to buy
- Sketching your garden design
- Lists of goals and to do’s for the season
- What you harvested and when
- Crop rotation notes
- Disease, pests and weather notes
This is where I come in! I’ve created a printable garden planner.
Keep track of when you started your seeds and know when to sow or transplant your crops into the garden. You might be surprised and be able to fit in any extra crops before or after your main season ones. You can also figure out what seeds to order by taking seed inventory beforehand & keep detailed gardening records of your season like weather, pests or what soil amendments need to go into which garden beds. Keep crop rotation notes, design your garden (includes square foot gardening) and much more!
