Prysm Note for garden planning
Garden notes are valuable precisely because the feedback loop is a year long. Without a record, you replant the same failure and forget the variety that worked.
What matters here
- A note per bed or area
- What was planted, where and when
- Recurring seasonal tasks
- A list of what worked
- A weather independent reminder schedule
The bed notes
One note per bed, with the planting history. Rotation matters for pests and nutrients, and it is impossible to plan without a record.
Seasonal tasks
Recurring tasks that follow the calendar: prune, feed, sow, harvest. Set them once and adjust as the year teaches you.
The honest record
What died, what thrived, what the slugs ate. A garden diary that only records success is a fantasy novel.
