Ok, so sad little being that I am I have made a table (3 pages long!) with a calender on it with sowing and harvesting/transplanting times on it etc for all the seeds I have ordered this year  Even got some space for the perrenial things like raspberries.  All colour coded to give the month expected activity should begin.  then (to make me even sadder according to daughter) I have the same chart, without the colour codes, to record the actual times I actually do these jobs.  I need to get a life!!  Am hoping it will make my life easier next year (well, 2009) as I'll hopefully be able to iron glitches easier if its all on paper, warts and all.

Its looking very impressive WG, though I say so myself, modesty has always been a virtue I have possessed in abundance!!   I have stuck each set together and blu tacked them onto my desk infront of the computer.  I have always been one of those people who survives by writing lists and recording stuff so its an extension of that I guess.  And like the rest I am SO glad the nights will soon be drawing out again.

Hey CD if you're sad then so am I !!

I have bought next year's diary, and the thing I am most looking forward to in the Christmas break is to write in there when to sow and plant out through next year. I have all my seeds already, and a chart of next year's plot beds on an A3 sheet of paper with the veg written into each bed.

In my eyes its virtual gardening!!

You sad, sad people.

I use an Excel spread sheet to note where, when, what & results as I lose bits of paper.

Hang on - that makes me even sadder!

I never got my head around Excel - perhaps a project for the New Year.

Instead I've got a perfectly adequate Word table. Months down the left column, with SOW, PLANT and HARVEST columns going across. This stretches to two years, and all the crops in the greenhouse are picked out in green.

All I've got for this month is harvesting last year's leeks - which I didn't actually plant! We'll see how it goes...

In this case it not used for any fancy calculations - I used it as the columns & rows are already there.

Well, I've actually bought a page-to-a-day diary to keep at the lottie. You never know, I may even use it!

[beeman]

I use excel too. Alas I have yo make a new spreadsheet as my PC ate the hard drive and I didn't have a backup, silly me. I've lost the records of when I actually planted stuff rather than what it says on the packet and also how successful or otherwise the crop was, I'll be keeping a copy on CD from now on.
