Is anyone here keeping a field journal and daily log from the start of the season through harvest?
If so what do you include?
mine usually includes hi-lo temps, growth in plant or fruit depending on the time and my daily fert/app rate log.
Are there other chores/daily notes that should be taken?

Just a simple excel sheet with daily measurements and it compares that to a benchmark. Also ferts and disease control. Weather will be added this year.

I just use a sheet of paper, but here's a good multi-year journal for anyone looking at keeping some good notes.
