    You are absolutely right about the garden journal! I started one back in 2002 when I bought my first house in Clifton, NJ. Over the years I recorded my successes and my failures and included lots of photos. What a learning experience! Now I am moving to a new house in Easton, PA with 3 acres and TONS of space for gardening. I can't wait to get started and I'm grateful to have the experiences of my garden journal to guide me.

I just started my first garden, plan to expand in the fall to a food forest. Thanks for the suggestion of pictures, I’m a visual learner so this will help in the future. Good luck on your move, and I’m a little jealous of all the acreage.

    Another way to take the plants out is to flip the container up side down while carefully holding the plants between your fingers on the down side. Very easy. This way you get to reuse your plastic thing forever which helps reduces the production of plastic in the long run.

      We don't have many pests here but my back yard garden is surrounded by nieghbors back yards on all sides. We put an electric fence up a couple of years back to keep game animals out tho. They had to go through 1 of 4 yards to get in ours, 2 of which have gardens as well but never get eaten. My garden is always the first one in and most mature when our forrset friends come down the hill to live in our neighborhood all summer. After reading this I have decided that my garden will be late, in hopes of the animals filling up on others enough to leave mine be. Could work? Its so bad I awoke at 3 am 4 years ago to a young buck stuck with his foot stuck in the chain link fence. Once he got loose he limped to the compost pile and bedded down. I was afraid he had broke his leg. However in the morning light with the areas pets coming out he did just get up and go jump out. Rather they get a small shock then a broken leg.

But it was already quite depleted of nutrients anyway so I figured it was worth a shot. Mixed it in deeply and didn't add more than an inch of height to the soil level, so I'm hoping it helps without destroying the garden.

    The “last expected frost date” of April 19 is the 50% date. This means that there is a 50% chance of a frost after that date. People use Mother’s Day as the time to plant because it Is somewhere around 5% chance of frost. This is all based on historical data.

      Here in Carson City, Nevada, zone 6a, the "last frost date" is Memorial Day. My dad has been gardening here for 60+ years and he says "they" say not to plant until you can't see snow from here on the Sierras. He actually waits until July 1st to transplant his tomato starts into his garden. He always grows more tomatoes than they can eat.
