poppy in rye field

When the heat like a mist veil floats,
And poppies flame in the rye,
And the silver note in the streamlet's throat
Has softened almost to a sigh.
It is July.

–Susan Hartley Swett (1843–1907)

When plants die or pest damage hits—and all you have are yellow sticky notes . . .

It’s not too late to start a garden journal! Keep records so you know when pests arrive—and put preventative controls in place to avoid damage. Also, track what blossoms when, first and last frost dates, what was planted where, what worked, favorite varieties, and other notes. A gardener’s most useful tool is knowledge from past seasons. Don’t rely on sticky notes! You’ll love our beautiful Garden Notebook with its waterproof cover—easy to bring to the garden. See the inside pages…
