Journal schmournal. I suspect we are just plain nosey and that's why we read other people's garden notes! Same reason we peek through locked garden gates and drive down alleys! Inquiring gardeners want to know!

Barbara, I really enjoy reading gardening journals. One I've read over and over is Page Dickey's "Duck Hill Journal" a year in a country garden.It's a good read.

That's one I haven't read yet! THanks for the tip!

I'm hoping to find time to reread "A Proper Garden" by Elizabeth Sheldon. One of my other favorites so far is "Growing Pains". I'm not sure how closely these fit the definition of garden journal, but they're close enough for me.
My all-time favorite though is Henry Mitchell. His weekly columns were nearly a garden journal since he wrote about whatever he was doing at the time, or at least it seemed like he did!

Could you tell us what's special about Page Dickey's book? I've been looking for an excuse to buy it and keep getting distracted by other books.
