What this sheet is for
Build a picture of what turns up on your plot and when, and see whether what you tried last time actually made any difference.
Who it is for
Allotment holders, kitchen gardeners, community growers and smallholders who want a written record rather than a hazy memory of last summer.
How to use it
- Write down what you can see, in plain words, without naming a cause you are not sure of.
- Say how widespread it was — one plant, a row, the whole bed — so scale is on record.
- Record the action you took, including doing nothing, which is a real choice.
- Come back to the result column a week or two later and fill it in honestly.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: What you saw, on what, how far it had gone and what you did about it — a plain observation record you can look back through when the same thing turns up again.
Observations, not diagnosis. This sheet records observations only. It does not name a cause, identify anything for you or suggest a treatment. Write down what you can actually see, and take any identification or treatment decision from your own source — a supplier, an adviser, or the label on whatever you are using. Check the rules where you are before using any product.

Questions
Will this tell me what is wrong with my plants?
No, and it does not try to. It is a record of what you observed and what you did about it. Identification and any treatment decision belong with a supplier, an adviser or a good reference book, and with the label on whatever you use.
Why does it not list common pests to tick?
Because a printed list quietly pushes you towards naming something before you have looked properly. An open column lets you describe what is actually in front of you.
