@cultivating.roots: We all think we’re going to remember, right? If you toss the pictures into an album as you take them, they will be in order from the start of the season to the end. I reference my previous year’s album SO often, especially at the start of a new month. I can see what pests, diseases, harvests, or seed sowing I should be preparing for this coming month. Capture: 🐛 Pests and Diseases (and how you dealt with them): It’s SO helpful to know what time of year your garden was impacted by pests or diseases so you can get ahead of them next year. 📅 Planting & Harvesting Dates: Were you on track this year, or do you want to adjust the dates next year? 🌱 Favorite Varieties: Which plant varieties do you want to plant again (or avoid)? 🌿 Garden Successes & Failures: Snapping a pic of a favorite garden bed makes it easy to replicate next year. Any garden flops this year? Capture those too! 🍴 Harvest Uses: It’s handy to have pictures of your favorite garden-fresh recipes or preservation methods during the hustle of harvesting! 📸 Comparison & Progress from Year to Year: It’s fun to see where your garden is at different points in the growing season. Same thing with the evolution of the garden—have you expanded or improved over the years? Creating a yearly album of these photos turns your phone into a gardening playbook for next season. So grab your camera and start documenting. You’ll be so glad you did come next spring! 🌸📸 #gardening #gardeningtips #gardenplanning #gardeningtipsandtricks #gardenphotography #modernhomesteading
