Taking paper and pen outside is something I do too, often seeing something that was forgotten while on the computer. <BR/><BR/>In the journals, I use only the right side for entries, using the left page for postscripts, horticultural death notices, and taped-on tags or receipts. <BR/><BR/>Blackswamp girl, may technology soon give you that photo-taking electronic journal! The speed of sharing digital photos is still a rather heady experience for me - I have more than thirty years of garden photos, but only a couple of years are digital - the rest are film snapshots, printed and in albums.Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1152888021134250882006-07-14T09:40:00.000-05:002006-07-14T09:40:00.000-05:00I think that garden journals would be much more su...I think that garden journals would be much more successful and well-used if there was a good, fast way to incorporate pictures into them. <BR/><BR/>I sometimes sketch ideas and pictures in my paper journal, and I keep a set of colored pencils nearby to add dashes of color to the sketches, but there's something about having photographs right there... after all, would your sedum growing out of your rock be as effective as a simple line sketch?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1152554695784852282006-07-10T13:04:00.000-05:002006-07-10T13:04:00.000-05:00I didn't start keeping a notebook until AFTER I st...I didn't start keeping a notebook until AFTER I started blogging... but all I've done so far is tape all of the plant tags on to white paper.r r shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698022616392554555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1152491661245778402006-07-09T19:34:00.000-05:002006-07-09T19:34:00.000-05:00Yes, I still keep a notebook for jotting down the ...Yes, I still keep a notebook for jotting down the date I planted something, along with any info I know about it. I don't always put these details into my blog, so it's nice to keep the mundane records in a separate notebook for future reference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1152370828308667302006-07-08T10:00:00.000-05:002006-07-08T10:00:00.000-05:00I still keep quite a few paper notes.

But a little blank book that I bought at the Cadeau contains history of individual plants and notes on my oxblood lily inventory. When walking around the garden, I note things in a little steno pad. Eventually the handwritten notes make their way in edited form to the blog. <BR/><BR/>I find my puttig thoughts down with pen on paper and typing into the computer produces very different results. I almost always prefer to take notes and write a rough draft by hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1152320708070458992006-07-07T20:05:00.000-05:002006-07-07T20:05:00.000-05:00I still keep a gardening journal with some handwri...I still keep a gardening journal with some handwritten notes on what I did in the garden, what's going on, weather, etc., but it isn't much!Carol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.com
