Active notes
Basil growth and harvest timing
Tracking pot size, pruning timing, greenhouse shelf conditions, and how quickly plants recover after harvest.
Experiments and research notes
Trial logs for plants, products, and Alaska conditions.
Secret Garden keeps notes on what was tried, what changed, what failed, what worked, and what is worth growing again before it is recommended to customers.
Product trial
Greek oregano kitchen and container notes
Watching culinary use, scent, growth habit, container performance, and which care notes matter at pickup.
Pollination trial
Controlled genetic pollination
Keeping selected parent plants and pollination work controlled so the resulting seed can be traced and offspring color can be compared.
Plant detail
Catmint bloom timing
Recording bloom timing, bud condition, leaf growth, and the plant's response when it moves from indoor growing conditions to outdoor light and wind.
Houseplant note
Spider plant indoor care
Tracking light, watering rhythm, root crowding, and simple care instructions for Alaska homes.
Seasonal color
Dahlia color and container use
Checking container size, watering demand, bloom presentation, and whether a plant fits deck or entryway projects.
Log format
Good trial notes make the next batch better.
Write down what is being checked: timing, hardiness, flavor, bloom, recovery, or use.
Record pot size, soil, light, heat, airflow, water rhythm, plant source, and start date.
Track visible changes like germination speed, leaf color, roots, stretch, pests, wilt, and bloom timing.
Separate what worked from what only looked good once, then note whether the batch is ready to recommend.
Write the next adjustment while it is fresh, before the details get fuzzy.
