Why a Year-End Review is Important

Every season teaches you something — but only if you take a minute to capture it.

As gardeners and homesteaders, we’re always moving on to the next task, the next project, the next thing that needs fixing. By the time winter comes, it’s hard to remember:

  • which varieties thrived

  • what pests showed up when

  • which projects actually made a difference

  • where your time and energy went

  • and what you’d do differently next year

Without taking time to review, all that hard-earned wisdom fades by spring.

 

You’re Not Behind — You’re Just Busy

 

If this season feels like a blur, you’re not alone.


Most gardeners end the year thinking:

  • “I know things went well… but I can’t remember the details.”

  • “I want next year to be better, but I’m not sure where to start.”

  • “I should have written more down.”

 

That doesn’t mean you failed — it means you’ve been working hard.

 

 

What This Review Helps You Do:

  • Get clear on what truly worked (and what didn’t)

  • Capture lessons while they’re fresh

  • See patterns in weather, yields, successes, and failures

  • Make better planting and project decisions next year

  • Begin the new season feeling purposeful instead of scattered

 

A Simple, Gentle System to Capture Your Year

Inside the free Year-End Review, you’ll find guided prompts to help you reflect on every part of your season:

 

  • Reality Checks

 

Note the problems, obstacles and mistakes that plagued your season, and the lessons learned.

 

  • The Year's Wins

Count the blessings, successes, progress, good memories and new skills learned.

 

  • Crop Yields and Pantry Inventory

Take stock of how your garden or homestead produced this year.

  • Evaluate Cultivars and Species

What varieties will you grow again, which ones were duds, and which of your critters earned their keep.

 

  • Projects & Improvements

Track what you built, fixed, maintained, or upgraded.

  • Kitchen Assessment

Review culinary successes and failures, new skills learned, Surpluses and Shortages

  • Goal Setting

Once you've reviewed the past year, you'll be prepared to set realistic, affordable and achievable goals for the coming year.

 

Each page guides you gently — no pressure, no perfection required.
