Garden journal and harvest tracker
Log what you sowed and when, weigh in every harvest, and get a to-do list built from your zone and your garden plan. Private to this browser, no sign-up.
Why keep a garden journal?
Memory is a poor record-keeper. By January you won't remember whether the late blight arrived in July or August, which tomato variety split in the rain, or how many beans two squares produced. Those details decide next year's plan.
A journal also teaches you your own microclimate. Record the first and last frosts you actually see, and after a couple of seasons you can type your own dates into the frost date override instead of relying on zone averages.
What to track
- Sowing dates and varieties: how long germination took, what thrived.
- Harvest weights: pounds per square tells you what earns its space.
- Problems: pest, disease or weather, when it appeared and what you tried.
- Where each family grew, so your rotation stays honest.
Questions gardeners ask
Is this garden journal app free and private?
Yes. There is no account. Entries are stored only in your browser's local storage on this device; nothing is sent to a server unless you use the AI advisor, which receives your question and recent entries to answer it.
How do I track my harvest?
Add an entry, choose "Harvested", pick the crop and type the weight or count. The harvest tracker totals each crop for the season so you can see which beds earned their space.
Where do the to-do tasks come from?
From your USDA zone, your frost dates and the crops in your PlotPlan garden plan. The journal lists sowing, transplanting and harvest windows that open in the next six weeks.
Can I move my journal to another device?
Use Export CSV to download every entry as a spreadsheet you can keep, print or open anywhere. Because nothing is stored online, a new device starts with an empty journal.
What should I write in a garden journal?
Sowing and planting dates, varieties, first and last frosts you actually saw, pest outbreaks and what you did about them, and harvest amounts. Next winter, that record is the best planning tool you have.
