Keeping records of what is sown when really helps understand the best growing conditions of edible foods. This log is my propagation record for 2010. This is not usually how I record the dates sown but I thought I would try a different method this year based on the varieties.

Living in the Tarn and being something of a novice gardener this log has inspired me. Thanks! Just one question. I have worked out S=Sow, P=Plant, H=Harvest but what exactly does TP mean?
You have produced an excellent, very interesting web site!
All the best, and keep up the good work.
