The Herb Garden Journal + 20 Herb Growing Cards

Most herbs fail in small spaces for simple reasons: the wrong window, a pot that's too small, too much water in winter, or picking at the wrong time. This printable set gives you the facts for each herb and a place to record what happens in your own home. The 20 growing cards, two per page, cover basil, bay, chamomile, chives, cilantro, dill, fennel, French tarragon, garlic chives, lavender, lemon balm, lemon verbena, lemongrass, marjoram, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme. Each card lists direct-sun hours, water rhythm, pot size and soil, how well it does on a windowsill, how and when to harvest, common problems, kitchen pairings and ASPCA pet flags. Cut them along the dashed line to keep in a half-letter binder. The journal pages include a my-herbs inventory, a window and light tracker, a monthly watering tracker, a feeding and care log, a harvest and drying log, a herb pantry jar inventory, indoor winter and outdoor season calendars, a problem finder with a pest diary, a seed and purchase record, a sowing and propagation log, and notes and sketch pages. Care needs vary by variety and climate, so the cards give conservative starting points. Growing and cooking information only, not medical advice.
