Who this herb garden journal is for

This journal is for herb gardeners growing basil, mint, rosemary, thyme and more in garden beds, pots or a sunny kitchen windowsill. It suits beginners planting a first herb pot, home cooks who want fresh flavors on hand and gardeners who dry and preserve herbs for teas and gifts. Each herb has its own needs for sun, water and harvesting, and simple records help your plants thrive and your harvest last all year.

How to use your herb garden journal

Fill in an herb profile for each plant with variety, light, watering and harvest tips. Sketch your garden layout or pot arrangement. Record watering, feeding and pruning on the care log. Log each harvest with the amount and how you used it. Save favorite recipes that use your herbs. Note preserving methods such as drying, freezing or making herb oils, and keep a wish list of herbs to grow next.
