I have tried. I lose notebooks, start up new ones, find the old ones, try to condense, lol..sometime I dont even understand what the heck I wrote. I have so many notebooks.
This year I have done better, I have to since I am growing out seedlings for folks. Kept my binder in one spot, Have albums for each individual brug in PB. I started out taking pix daily, then went to weekly, then every other week, back to more frequently when they start forming buds. Its crazy! lol!
Keeping records is alot of work.

Good question. I'm like Daniella, a terrible record keeper. Heck I can't even label my plants half the time. lol I'm good about keeping records on the stuff I grow for others but not my own.

For several years my Creamsickle and Maya were always the first to bloom but not this year. I think a lot might have to do with weather conditions in a particular year and even pot size for container plants.
