![[OC] I Tracked the Bloom Dates of Every Flower in My Garden - 2025 verison](https://www.byteseu.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/5o5dk1i4z93g1-792x1024.jpg "[OC] I Tracked the Bloom Dates of Every Flower in My Garden – 2025 verison")
I collected the data by walking around my property once a week, every week and marking what I saw. I break each month into 4 weeks, which I know is not a perfect system but works well for my purposes.
I record this data with a marker in a handwritten notebook, but have input the information into Google Sheets for sharing purposes. This year I've linked each species to a page about that plant so when there is confusion about exactly what the common name refers to, it's clear.

I created and started using this chart with the goal of having the longest possible flower season without any breaks. The data has proved really helpful as a gardener not only for filling gaps, but also for easing my mind when I say "BUT WHERE ARE THE CROCOSMIA?!" and I consult my data to see that on average, they will come up a week from now.
This is the 5th year I've created this chart and shared it in some form on Reddit. I didn't start putting the data into Sheets until last year.

Sorry if you answered somewhere else, but what zone are you in?
This is amazing, thank you for sharing!! But same question as the other commentor: roughly what part of the world are you in? I’m 52° North and have a feeling you live somewhere similar, or a bit warmer. I’d like to corrolate it a bit with my own garden plants, and we share a lot of them. 😉
