The GardenCycle Day Journal
Help Mom get organized this season.

This is a great gift for any gardener in your family. By providing a format to record the temperature, sunlight, rainfall, and wind direction on a daily basis, Gardencycle can help organize observations and make planning more effective. Few of us can clearly recall exactly when those changes in the weather occurred or when we planted our first seeds, transplanted our peppers, or harvested our oats. Careful records inform us about our garden's adaptations. This knowledge can then be used successfully in the future. Brilliant photography accompanies special places to record data.
