Database

[BrideXIII]

I have a copy of Hazel's excellent database that she very kindly sent me. If you want it Kittykat pm me and I will email it to you.

me too? pretty please with sugar and cream on top?

[Hazel at the Hill]

Thanks for the spreadsheet compliments!

...however, like all systems, you need to remember to update it as you go and I have to use it in conjunction with a block plan (in excel too), and to remember to put the dates on the labels when I sow.

If you don't, you end up with a number of rows in the spread sheet with same crop and variety but with different sowing dates, and that can be confusing.

Anyone who wants a copy emailing across, let Bob or me know.

sound like something else to me

Sound like what need is a garden organization and inventory program.

I my case, I am working on several garden related spreadsheets and databases.

Was never a great record keeper (I usually get mid way through January then loose interest.)
Must profess to being a hands on person and flying by the seat of my pants!
Makes life more interesting.

Databases are for penpushers not gardeners, too much like cyber gardening for my liking! Would rather do a days digging!

But hey........if cyber gardening floats your boat.....go for it!

Snadge I must confess to being the same as you. However last year when I gave away all my melons thinking I was giving away courgettes etc really fedded me up off. So this year I shall be labelling and keeping records in Hazel's spreadsheet.

Just wanted to say; I haven't the faintest idea what any of you are on about.

[BrideXIII]

well the reason i want one is it will be my first season, and i am terrible at remembering when to plant what, and half of it goes in too late, or too early and dies before i can get it out.

need to be more organised this time.

I've emailed it to you Bride as you asked for it with sugar and cream

Snuffer, I don't keep a spreadsheet, I just stand back and admire those who do.

I used to work with both Excel and Access at different times. But for my gardening? I jot down what I've done and when, and later just type them into a word file - probably not as efficient as the spreadsheet but as I don't keep records in great detail it does for me.

I think I'd love to be someone who keeps better records but I don't think that's ever going to happen.

I label everything but spreadsheet nothing!

[bobleponge]

Emilymup I tried to PM you for an email addy to send it to. Can you PM it to me and I will send.
Tricky, can you PM me your email addy too.

Kittykat yours shall be sent this morning.

I am sending the original that Hazel gave me, as my one is quite rubbish compared to hers.

My memory is shot these days.
