One reason you might want to keep records is to compare from year to year, also..if something hasn't sprouted you will know how many days it has been since you set the seed and you would know that after X amount of days...that seed is probable not going to sprout or may have rotted etc. Also by keeping track you can try to adjust heat & water for your plants better.

and if you keep track of what grows where, you can put in how much room you needed, if you had too many/not enough, and if you should have started earlier/later with a particular item.

o- and its also a good idea to wright down if their hardy annuals,,,half hardy annuals ,,or tender annuals thumbup
hardy annuals can withstand the cold temps, so you can plant them outside sooner, just cover em up if theirs a frost, but the cold temp wont kill em off

half hardys are a inbetween of hardy and tender, use your own judement, you'll learn over the years keepin track whats more on the hardy side or tender side,

tender annuals cant not withstand the cold, they are your last ones to go outside when the weather is warm and stays warm.
