Im so glad you decided to share your journal with us!!!! I can TOTALLY relate to a different way of garden journaling. Thanks Amanda ❤

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@michellepollino4986]

Love your planner/journal, great idea for gardening. Thanks for sharing it with us. It’s beautiful, very useful and creative.

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@vickijackson9115]

Love this video. Also your thought process. I find when you write you remember your information better. Beautiful Gardening Journal. And I have always felt writing is a form of Art.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much! I agree about writing … that reinforcement helps me a lot.

[@michellefrance1165]

So awesome that you were able to work with your sister on this!!

[@shesamadgardener]

Definitely!!

[@michellefrance1165]

@shesamadgardener on a different subject I sent you some photos of my garden table via Instagram 😊

[@mercyporras2883]

Enjoy so much your information and most appreciate you saying each time where you are and the zone. So many do not say and frustrating for me. Thanks for all you do and share.😊

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@BCBRENDA]

I agree, I often wait for Tubers to say what zone they are n never hear it from them.

[@edietweedy2400]

I just want to tell you I enjoyed your video even though I’m not a gardener (unless you count rocks as a plant. lol). I’m one of Elisa’s followers & patrons. She’s the best & is teaching me a lot about planning the way I want to. I want to support your channel, black thumb and all, just because you are her sister.😊

[@shesamadgardener]

Aww, that is so sweet! Thank you!!!

[@noradunlap7539]

Love your planner! So sweet you made it with your Sister!🥰🥰

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you! 🤗

[@michellepowell9341]

I found YOU through your sister's channel when she released this garden planner! Y'all have created an awesome collab! I figured I needed one when she introduced it and seeing how you are using it I know I need 2! One for me and one for my daughter! :) You've inspired me to get back into my garden again! Thank you!! ♥

[@shesamadgardener]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@angelabooker9684]

This is awesome! I've been struggling to organize my chaos! Thank you and thanks to your sister too❤

[@shesamadgardener]

You’re welcome!

[@thecakepopsistars]

love LOVE your method of journaling/planning and organizing your garden journey. writing is super helpful for me too! Yes, flexibility and adaptability

[@shesamadgardener]

Yes! Thank you!

[@michelleleonard1962]

So excited to discover y’all are sisters! I was already subscribed to both of you! Currently looking to set up my first garden journal.

[@shesamadgardener]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@carolinapalomares9649]

Great Journal!❤💕🌺🌼🌷🌻🌱💐🪴🌸❤️

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much!

[@debbiet0719]

Thank you, Amanda! I appreciate the peek into your garden journal. I also use a Happy Planner setup for my garden journal. I use their garden layout which is very limited to what you can keep track of. I was so excited when Elisa showed us the garden journal pages that you both came up with! My inserts should arrive today or tomorrow and I can’t wait 😜

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@markettabakke1187]

I'm so excited to learn that you two are sisters! (I've followed you both for quite some time now.) Don't worry for an instant about promoting her work! I loved it!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much!!

[@nicolechew1029]

Loved this video! You and your sister are both creative in different ways. Sisters are awesome!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much!!

[@littlesaltyhomesteader]

What a wonderful product she created! You’re right - the premade templates at the store are so difficult to use “properly” but it looks like she created something meaningful and useful!

[@shesamadgardener]

I totally agree! I’m grateful she could do this.

[@feleciasousa7834]

Thank you so much 🎉for doing this video. I live in Texas zone 8 too. We are definitely like-minded. I’m looking forward to more of your videos. ❤

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@susanschellberg4509]

Very helpful video. I've tried several garden journals but have been frustrated with them because they didn't fit my style of gardening. Your's looks so flexible and forgiving. Love the binder idea and being able to add pages that work for you.

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@annsmith5625]

Awesome that you both worked on it!! She told us about you and so here I am...I used to do gardening but now it is more container gardening since we moved to the city. ( I use a symbol to show I've watched, even if I don't comment...⚾️)

[@shesamadgardener]

Love the baseball! Both my boys play baseball and I am currently at a baseball practice!

[@laurabryan8835]

Thanks so much for showing us your Happy Planner. I've been tweaking mine this year. I'm pretty tech savvy so I have been making changes to my pages using Word. I couldn't find pretty garden-inspired monthly dividers, so I made my own and laminated them as well as the front and back cover. I have vowed to be consistent with my journal/planner this year! I laughed about the handwriting comments because I have experienced the same thing. My day job involves typing (a lot) so I'm better at keyboarding than writing by hand. I have to slow down and be very intentional when I write. I like using ink colors but I like to be able to erase. Flexion pens are the perfect solution. They use erasable ink! I love them! I love your yellow cover. I haven't seen those covers before (how have I missed them? I stop at the Happy Planner section every time I go to Joanne's, Hobby Lobby or Michaels. I'm going to check out your sister's site. Thanks again for showing us your planner, and thanks for all your garden help! I watch you every day!

[@shesamadgardener]

Oh, I’m going to look up those pens you suggested! Thank you!

[@bethany.3.0]

I just got my garden planner/journal inserts in the mail today from Elisa. So it was fun to see your video pop up on how you are using them. I’m starting a vegetable garden this year and I’m excited to write down my wins and flops on this journey. 😂 I’m loving your content as well!

[@shesamadgardener]

Recording the flops will make you a better gardener!

[@cathywright4133]

Thank you so much. I love the journal

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@BanyoeLandscape]

Wow jurnal planner to gardener... Amazing.thank for share😊❤

[@shesamadgardener]

My pleasure 😊

[@sharonhart1232]

I've never kept a journal but my daughter lives by them. I'll recommend your sisters channel to her

[@shesamadgardener]

❤️❤️❤️

[@juneramirez8580]

Thank you for sending me this info! I think like you do. My hand writing AND spelling are awful. I write in pencil so I can erase often. I am still organizing my thoughts as to what I want in a planner. Right now I am using a regular binder I had in my house but want something special. I like to know exactly what I am planting, how well or not it worked, etc. I have not done a good job keeping everything in my journal. Sometimes the information is on my phone and needs to be added to the journal. I take pictures of the seed packet and sometimes take pictures of the plants and print them up from a handy phone printer from Cannon. The pictures are very small, 3x3 inch and have adhesive backing so I stick them on the looseleaf paper I am using. I love your channel and have only been watching it for a short time. Again thank you for responding to my question about your journal from a more recent video!!!!!

[@shesamadgardener]

I’ve been wanting to get that little printer so I can put pictures in my journal!

[@sadiephilbrick5331]

Thank you so much for sharing your garden journal!! It gave me the push I needed to think about making my own!! I love your ideas.

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@bonniep.5165]

Ohmygosh! This is perfect ~ I’ve bought two planners this year (sent one back & the other I’m stuck on because it’s a format that I just can’t follow & yes I feel bad that I spent the money & it sits) Ordering Now! 💃🏼🌱📖

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

Thanks for sharing this system with us. It will be great reference next year too.

[@shesamadgardener]

You bet!

[@beckycartledge9719]

📓 👍 💙

[@shesamadgardener]

❤️❤️❤️

[@LisaWalker-u7i]

i found this video so enlightening! My daughter gave me a blank journal to use for my gardening but I was stymied as to how exactly would be the best way to do so. I didn't want to make it a diary. This is such a grand idea. this next part has nothing to do with the video but I was wondering with your degree in sculpture, have you ever thought of making a chicken wire form to use for making a design like a rabbit and then training climbing fig over it for a topiary type ornament. /If you base it in a whiskey barrel planter it would be moveable and the fig vine would be easier to keep in bounds

[@shesamadgardener]

Oh I would love to do something like that! I’ve watched several videos on it but just haven’t taken the leap.

[@michelechambers4494]

Thanks for sharing your gardening journal and your sister's information. I love my Happy Planner but agree that their gardening pages don't work well for the average gardener. I could tell you were using a Happy Planner but didn't recognize the pages. I'm so glad to know where I can order them.

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@tonyaholt2453]

“Organization is a spectrum” - I totally agree. I’m on the low end of that one when it comes to the garden. I vow to do better

[@shesamadgardener]

Yep, I get overwhelmed if it is too detailed.

[@litasolis9671]

I love it. I started using a regular lined journal but it's just not working for me. It would be good to make reference notes for photos- like correspond plant details to a photo album on your phone. Or helpful videos you find one youtube. I'm always like "where did I see that video on xyz???" Or a wish list for plants for certain areas in the garden. What fun to do a collab with your sis. Love your videos too! Thanksk for alll you do.

[@shesamadgardener]

That's a great idea!

[@AlexM22436]

Hi Amanda, I am Tonia from Michigan. I felt this video to be more informational than promotional. Journaling used to be my jam. I had no idea your sister was also a youtuber/journaler. So, thank you for telling me about your journal as well as your sister. I was just saying I want a prayer journal as I have a garden journal but use a book. Go figure. I guess itis that system your sister spoke of that matters most. Great info and great video, thank you!

[@shesamadgardener]

Aww thanks! Check Elisa out because she does great faith planning.

[@lisacain35]

Thank you so much for your information Amanda! Yes, you do provide help for us. I’m so devastated right now as I fell on Saturday and broke both ankles. I’m currently still in the hospital at Baylor McKinney. I’m waiting for pre authorization from insurance to get transferred to Baylor Rehabilitation in Frisco. I’m non weight bearing for at least 6 - 8 weeks but it will probably be more like 10 - 12 weeks! Looks like this years garden is now out of the question and I’m devastated by this because it gives me so much joy and peace. 😭😭😭 I will have to enjoy my flowers and veggies through my KZbinrs I watch this season.

[@sandychristiansen1749]

Sorry to hear about your fall. Missed a garden year is so hard -- I missed one some years back from having surgery and it was tough.

[@shesamadgardener]

Oh my gosh, Lisa! That is terrible! I am so sorry to hear that … hugs to you as you work through this tough time. Dont stress about the garden this year, instead start making plans for enhancing it in the fall or next spring. Keep us updated on your progress!

[@MaryValdes-h4o]

Thank you for sharing your planner. I haven’t found garden books that work for me, their to detailed. I also hoped you would share more about your journal. I’m inspired to start one for my garden.

[@shesamadgardener]

Will do!

[@vln4443]

Very cool. I use the 10 year garden journal from Lee Valley that was recommended by Linda Vater years ago. After 3 years of using it, I like it. The best journal is one that you use daily or regularly. Definitely research and pick one that suits your lifestyle.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks for sharing!

[@BCBRENDA]

I need this, because I too do not like those in the store. Great u n your sister ate working together

[@shesamadgardener]

Yay! Glad it was helpful!

👒👒👒

[@sabrinapenick2695]

Oh my goodness! I follow both of you and did not know that you two were sisters.😊

[@shesamadgardener]

😂😂😂 if I fixed my makeup more often, it would be more obvious!

[@sabrinapenick2695]

@shesamadgardener I think both of you ladies are awesome! I love gardening, bible studying, and crafting, too!

[@sashaanderson4198]

Order placed! I’m so excited about this! Thank you and your sister so much for this!

[@shesamadgardener]

Yay!

[@sashaanderson4198]

I just made a second order. I LOVE these! @@shesamadgardener

[@joycerapezzi2378]

Yay! Thanks so much

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@user-rosesroses]

Hope to order. Trying to organize.

[@shesamadgardener]

Perfect!

[@cherylbabcock4531]

This is great❣️

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks!

[@daisydavis5070]

Is that an apron you are wearing in this video? Its so pretty! Would you mind to tell where you got it?

[@shesamadgardener]

It’s from TEMU but I’ve also seen it available on Amazon!

[@Judyb63]

What size is your journal?

[@shesamadgardener]

It’s the 7 x 9.25”

[@jamesgibson5642]

Thanks for sharing your journaling ideas! As I started this post I was going to comment that for someone who seemed resistant to organization and planning your penmanship seems obsessive and precise but then you burst delusion. I agree with your reluctance/resistance to adopting someone else's idea for a garden planner and forcing yourself to conform with someone else's misguided ideas of planning. It seems similar to my late mother's complaint about buying a home built to someone's idea of proper layout (particularly in kitchen plans) she would often complain that one plan or another must have been laid out by a man (who doesn't cook). My plan is to use a scientific notebook (with graph paper) and layout each page according to the information I wish to keep and track. This will also allow more flexibility regarding page orientation. I can also use the pages in the middle of the book for information that does not change; the layout and orientation of the garden/yard, location of fruit trees, fruiting bushes and vines, bee hives, chicken/duck/quail run etc. Even a journal used over several years will utilize information that is written only once and referred to over seasons and years. A ruler or architects/engineers triangle is used for a book mark and assists with layout of yard and raised beds. Hope this helps someone.

[@shesamadgardener]

Love the idea of the scientific notebook … I’ve always been fascinated by precise drawings, diagrams, and labels and find them quite attractive.

[@gritandGracegardening]

You might not know bad hand writing until you’ve seen the gal (🙋🏻‍♀️) whose father refused to have another left handed daughter and made her sit down one day before kindergarten started and write with her right hand until she could read what she was writing. Shuuu… It is not good!! 😅

[@shesamadgardener]

Oh! That’s rough!

[@theresaoriabure9673]

[@shesamadgardener]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jolenef.9548]

My MIGardener Costuluto Genovese never germinated either. 🥲 I love planning! I have used HP and every other type of planner. I need to order these inserts!

[@shesamadgardener]

Yeah I’ve heard from a lot of people that theirs didn’t germinate.
