Last year I wrote down planting dates and other significant events in a book something like a journal. I don't find this very helpful, first from the viewpoint of keeping track of the book, second in being able to quickly find a specific item.

In 2013 I snapped a lot of photos of the results of our activities and the date stamp on these has provided basic chronological info. And by adding keywords and descriptions I can quickly search for specific topics.

In mid-Summer 2014 I explored using a smart phone with the Evernote application to record photos and comments. That approach didn't work well as-is because of peculiarities on Evernote. However, I did manage to use it in this way:

• I capture the scene with my phone's camera.
• At home on my desktop computer:
  • I name each event, and add keywords and descriptions
  • I export photos from my collection specifically for Evernote.
  • I type in the comments for the day into Evernote.
  • I attach the photos to the day's comments.

I can imagine a revised Evernote app that effectively added pictures on-site as I recorded what I had done, but that's not the case yet.
