A beautifully illustrated keepsake gardening guide and logbook to record 5 years' worth of gardening joy.
Statistics vary, but it should come as no surprise that the number of gardeners worldwide shot up during the pandemic, particularly for millennials. While clothing sales plummeted, online garden sales increased 100% from 2019 to 2020-and the trend shows little sign of waning. Many new and old gardeners alike will benefit from the expert guidance in these pages, no matter where they live or what they 're growing. The first part of the book offers instruction and advice on: how and when to start seeds and successfully transplant them; selecting beginner-friendly tools and plants; how to protect plants from pests and exposure; watering and weeding; how to clear a garden bed; and so much more. The 5-year plant log guides readers in mapping out their flower and vegetable gardens, from an all-star wish list to practical plantings. With ample space for writing notes, saving tags, and logging in what was planted where, how it
grew, and when it was harvested, this planner captures a unique snapshot of that garden's successes and challenges year over year, taking the guesswork out of how a garden grows.
