- 40 pages, and every sowing row is dated in weeks from YOUR frost date rather than in a month
- You write your last-frost and first-frost dates once, on the first page, and the whole book is relative to them
- Because a printed sowing date is meaningless. March in one hemisphere is September in the other, and a coastal garden is three weeks from one four hundred metres up the same valley
- No planting date, no month name on any sowing page, no zone, and no hemisphere assumed anywhere in the file
- Every other gardening product either prints northern-hemisphere months and silently excludes half the world, or prints a zone system that belongs to one country
- No variety is named, no spacing, no depth, no feed and no treatment or product of any kind
- Varieties are regional and change, spacing and depth are on the packet in your hand, and naming a substance to put on a plant is advice this file has no standing to give
- A what-happened section: sown, came up or did not, and what the weather did - the record that makes the second year better than the first, and the one nobody keeps
What is inside
Forty pages, and every sowing row is dated in weeks from YOUR frost date rather than in a month.
THE FROST PAGE
You write your own last-frost and first-frost dates once, on the first page, and the whole book is relative to them.
This is the only honest way to build a growing calendar. A printed sowing date is meaningless: March in one hemisphere is September in the other, last year's frost date was not this year's, and a coastal garden is three weeks from one four hundred metres up the same valley.
Every other gardening product on sale either prints northern-hemisphere months - silently excluding half the world - or prints a zone system that belongs to one country.
Weeks before or after your own frost date is a number that is true in every garden on earth.
WHAT IS NOT PRINTED
No planting date, no month name on any sowing page, no zone, no hemisphere assumed.
No variety is named, no spacing, no depth, no feed, and no treatment or product of any kind. Varieties are regional and change, spacing and depth are on the packet in your hand, and naming any substance to put on a plant is advice this file has no standing to give.
WHAT HAPPENED
Sown, came up or did not, and what the weather did. It is the only record that makes the second year better than the first, and it is the one nobody keeps.
ALSO INSIDE
· Eight bed sheets with what was in it last time - the thing you cannot remember in spring is what was where
· A harvest log with first and last, and whether there was too much of it
· A seed register with where it came from and how old it is, which is the answer when nothing germinates
· An after page for the end of the season, while it is still true
Hyperlinked throughout. Mono and colour, every device edition in the box. Personal use.
