This will be the second year that I will be using The Ironstone Garden Planner and it is very quickly becoming one of my must have garden supplies for each season. This planner leaves nothing to chance and is comprehensive in its coverage of every facet of garden planning from inventorying existing plants and seeds, to planting times, to companion planting and much more. Some key points of this planner that I treasure are:

**The pages of the journal are not only functional, but absolutely beautiful. The author has done a stupendous job in selecting graphics and colors that keep the gardener coming back time and time again.
**The journal is spacious and leaves lots of room for notes and data, and lends itself to being a great organizational tool.
**The grids that allow for drawing out the garden beds of different types and sizes are invaluable.
**The tips that are provided in the information pages are good reminders to beginning and seasoned gardeners alike. It is obvious the author put in a lot of thought and care into the messaging of the pages.
**The planner is relatable to all gardeners, no matter how experienced or inexperienced.
