I keep seeing it pop up when researching and wanted to hear from other gardener's about how they manage their garden information. Pen and notebook? Special designs? Online?

Personally, I've never kept anything previously so each year will be a semi-fresh start and daily online searches to find solutions. This year I hope to at least write stuff down; seeds we have, easiest plants to collect seeds from, best/worst companions, harvest time/sprout time, and disease/pest prevention methods.

For anyone new to the garden game, here is a list of companies to buy seeds from. I've ordered most of my seeds from Sustainable Seed Co, but right now they are still recovering from the wildfires in CA, so True Leaf Seed Market I believe is who supplies the seeds.

Even small damage to potatoes speeds their rot, so there is an implausible aspect--but I suppose if you're only harvesting small quantities for short-term personal consumption it might be okay?
