When Angi from scheiderpeeps.com offered me an opportunity to review a copy of her new e-book The Gardening Notebook, I leapt at the chance. After all, I am passionate about gardening but yet, despite my total administrator personality, have yet to find a great system to keep track of my garden successes and failures from year to year. In truth, this blog has been the best record of my garden to date, with photo updates and posts about vegetables I have grown and loved.
The Gardening Notebook is divided into several sections: first, practical tips on the how-to’s of gardening, such as Enriching the Garden, Pests, Problems, and Solutions, and Plan. Next, the e-book includes printable worksheets with cultivation, pest, and harvesting and storage tips for the most common vegetables and fruiting trees, along with space for your own notes. Finally, there are over 50 pages of printable worksheets on topics such as garden layout, planting by frost dates, a garden calendar, garden expense worksheets, and a monthly journal.
For those wanting to get truly organized about their gardening, The Gardening Notebook is a great tool. What I really appreciate is that the user can print what they feel is necessary or interesting to them, and create their own personalized notebook. I, for one, would love to use Angi’s guide to create a go-to calendar of when to plant each vegetable, by month.
Great idea, thank you for the opportunity!!!!

Stumbled across your blog. I love it! I liked you on facebook as well.
Whata GREAT idea…I always try to remember from year to year what I have done in the garden, and always struggle. Would also love to have new ideas, etc.
Also – “liked” you on FB
I’ve enjoyed reading your blog. I’m nearing retirement age and and looking into other sustainable occupations after I leave the teaching profession. Not quite sure what I want to do yet but I’m enjoying reading about your homesteading adventures. Thx
Teri, I loved your comment about being very organized in general but not in garden record keeping. I am the same way! It would be great to try out the gardening notebook. I tried to “like” you on facebook- hopefully it worked =)
I like you on FB 🙂

I liked you on FB. Looking forward to following your homesteading adventures.
This is my first attempt at gardening. I’ve learned lots of helpful tidbits from Angi’s blog but need all the help I can get.

I love that this has printable worksheets. I definitely need some help organizing my gardening. What a great giveaway.
This sounds like a wonderful idea. I always think I will remember what I planted where in the garden and the following year I sit scratching my head to remember
I’m already a fan on your facebook page. I love reading your blog!
That sounds like the kind of organization my garden needs. Thank you, and Angi, for this giveaway.
