What this sheet is for
Put the plan and the honest verdict on the same page, so the lesson from one season is in front of you when you plan the next.
Who it is for
Allotment holders and kitchen gardeners who plan in spring and then have nothing written down by the time the beds are cleared.
How to use it
- Fill the planned column in at the start of the season and leave the rest blank.
- Write what actually went in as it happens, including the substitutions.
- Come back at the end of the season and fill in how each bed did, failures included.
- Use the notes at the foot for the things that were not about one bed — weather, time, water.
- Read last year's sheet before you plan this year's.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: The plan at the start of the season and the honest review at the end, bed by bed on one page, so the two are read together instead of one being forgotten.
Two sittings, one page. Fill the left-hand side in spring and leave the right-hand side blank. Come back to it when the beds are cleared and write what actually happened, including the rows that came to nothing. The value of this sheet is entirely in that second visit.
Write-on lines: Plot / allotment · Season or year · Plot holder
Bed by bed — left at the start of the season, right at the end
Table, 8 rows: Bed · Planned · What went in · How it did · Again
Ruled lines: The season overall — what worked, what to change, what to order
Questions
Why keep the plan and the review on one sheet?
Because separated, the plan gets kept and the review never gets written. Side by side, the gap between what you meant to grow and what you did is visible, and that gap is the useful part.
What if a bed changed three times over the season?
Write all of it in the middle column. A bed that carried three crops is worth recording as one, and the review column can say which of them was worth the space.
