Garden of Thoughts!

We got our garden planted on Memorial Day. We are really excited and hope we get something out of it!! I've helped my mom growing up, but she did most of the work. So, this is both of ours first garden that we take full care of. I'm nervous that we won't get anything, but really excited. So, in order to keep things organized, I made a notebook. Inside, I made a layout of where we planted everything. I went a little over board, and you'll see what I mean. I colored a very detailed description. It comes with coloring with a 2 year old I guess. Anyway, inside, I'll put what I want to make with what we get, recipes I use, or want to use, what works, what doesn't, that kind of thing. I saw a similar idea on a blog, but kind of made it my own. Hope you enjoy!

My notebook that I made

My very colorful layout. At least I know where things are, right?

I am so proud of you. I can't wait to see your garden. I have always kept a garden journal. It is very smart to do that. I love you.

I love your Garden of Thoughts book! What a great idea, I always forgot where I put what! I think it's nice to be able to back each year to see what worked for you - great idea! Love you.

Cool! I think that it will do good. That is a good idea to make a notebook so you can look back later on. It is amazing how things will grow even when you doubt your green thumb. Good luck!
Love, Laura
