There are also pages to list possible plant purchases and suppliers, gardens to visit and reflections on gardens visited. Has five weeks for each month to allow for year-on-year comparisons.

Illustrated
I bought this as a replacement for my previous 5 year RHS gardener's record book. I wish they made a ten year one, as it's fascinating to see what happens year by year on each page. This one is just as lovely with delicate illustrations on the side of each page, and columns for five years' entries. There are 5 double pages for each month, which is rather strange - the previous edition also headed each double page with week 1, 2 etc. Five pages is a bit odd to organise and you have to annotate the pages so you know which week you are in. Otherwise, a lovely way to keep a record - doesn't even have to be about gardening, you could use it for any kind of diary, ignoring the discrete section headings for weather, plants, tasks, etc, which I usually do anyhow. There are a number of blank pages at the end for notes, plant lists, etc, which is useful at the end of the year for jotting down what worked and what didn't.
