seed collecting/10-year gardening journal

at some point I am going to have to get more organized ... I know I'll probably have to break down and get a gardening journal if I am ever going to be able to keep proper track of plantings ... there's a 10-year journal at Lee Valley I could pick up for about $40 so I suppose it's $4/year and it would be good to get it this winter so I can transfer all my muddied info in little notepads and scraps of paper that I've collected over this past gardening season while there's a lull in the 'growing season' -- http://www.leevalley.com/garden/page.aspx?c=1&p=43043&cat=2,46154,46145



I came across some origami seed packet folding instructions and this particular one works well with 2x2" post its (it becomes a 1x1" packet ... not great for big seeds will work for some of the smaller seeds I've collected like David's tomato seeds ...


This one is a little fussy for a 2x2" post it but would work well using a larger piece of paper albeit it really needs to be accurately folded to look good (click on the image to see the full-size image)
