Keep a Better Garden Record with Rite in the Rain Notebooks

Days to Spring: 11

As someone with a terrible store for anything that ’s important , I have been a dread garden record custodian . I want to sleep together what I imbed and when , ideas for combination or designs , and things that one should discover ( weather and such ) . History has taught me that if I wait to write thing down when I get back in the house , I will forget completely . On the few social function I have tried to write things down , the paper has turned into a marked-up ball of cornmeal mush .

So it should come as no surprisal that when I set up Rite in the Rain notebooks , I immediately bought a bunch of them . These notebook are filled with coated paper ( environmentally responsible constituent , whole recyclable ) that stands up to H2O ( be it from rain , the hosiery , or just forenoon dew ) and dirt . They even have pen and pencils that will write in the rainfall , but I have n’t prove those .

The only matter these notebooks do n’t do is make my handwriting , spontaneous abbreviations , and improvised symbol prosperous to decode .
