A diary helps you keep track of what worked for you and what didn't. If you are like me you will forget what was planted where and when. What variety of vegetable is important because what grows well in one place may not grow well in your garden or on your plot.

A great sentiment but when you are busy it is too easy to think 'I'll jot that down tomorrow' and, of course, tomorrow never comes....

There used to be a great book called The Vegetable Jotter which now seems to have turned into The Vegetable & Herb Expert - a great guide, also available in a pocket version, but lacking the space to note planting dates, results etc.

You can find some background information on the site here
