My Garden

In gardening, there's nothing more frustrating than making the same mistake twice. Essential for gardeners of every skill level, this guided horticultural diary helps track successes and lessons learned. The undated journaling pages will last at least five years, while graph paper offers space to sketch dream plots. Expert gardener Mimi Luebbermann gives seasonal checklists for hot, warm, temperate, and cold climates. Covering everything from vegetable gardening to organic pest control and harvesting herbs, Mimi’s advice will shepherd gardeners whether they have rolling fields or just a few precious yards. As their gardens grow, so will their journal—and their expertise, of course.

Note: If you are a very prolific writer this journal may be useful for an annual journal or biannual as opposed to 5 years.

Mimi Luebbermann is the author of almost twenty books on gardening and cooking. She lives on a farm in Petaluma, California.
