🌱✌️Garden Journal is now available!
Hey Permapeople,
What happened to the summer in the northern hemisphere? We skipped the newsletter for June because we were busy in our gardens. I hope your garden is doing well and you are already harvesting! We keep harvesting beans, tomatoes, zucchinis, berries, and a lot more.
Garden Journal
"I can't remember what I planted here."
"What was the variety I started these seeds from?"
"Did I amend this bed already with compost and when was it?"
"Which variety produced more this season and I should plant more next year?"
If you found yourself in the past asking these questions, ask no more, we built the garden journal for that. You can write an entry for every garden activity you do. You will have a better idea about your garden activities and learn more from your garden and the community. We plan to add helpful tips, tricks, and reminders based on your journal for your future gardening projects.
