A Gardener's Five Year Record Book: Royal Horticultural Society - hardcover

With this handy record book, gardeners won't have to rack their brains trying to remember when the fuchsias were last fertilized or what variety of basil was set out. Its attractive, well-designed pages provide a sizable, central location to store horticultural notes, thus eliminating the scraps of paper, soil-streaked seed packets, and weathered plant tags that all gardeners seem to accumulate. It allows them to track their garden's progress month by month, year by year, over a five-year period. There's room to record when plants bloom, which gardening chores need to be undertaken, weather conditions, and other pertinent information. Other pages offer room to list possible plant purchases, suppliers, gardens to visit, and notes on other gardens. Its fresh, contemporary design is enhanced by lovely illustrations drawn mainly from the "Phytanthoza Iconographia" (1737-1745) -- the first European botanical work to be published in color.
