Put it up. Find it in February.

Brine ratios
Five percent for crisp dills, eight for the sour ones. Weigh the salt. Measuring by volume was never consistent.

Fill the jar when you have it
Clip a page, speak a line, or type a sentence. It goes on the shelf with today’s date and nothing else to fill in. You can label it later, or never.
Keep like things together
Notes that belong together sit side by side. Loam links them as you write, so the brine ratios and the fermentation paper are one shelf apart without any sorting on your part.
Check the back of the pantry
Loam notices what has sat on the shelf the longest and brings it forward. The date stays on the label, so you always know how old a note is before you decide to use it.

Every autumn I find something I wrote in spring and had completely forgotten. It is like finding a jar at the back of the cupboard.
Start the shelf this week
Fill one jar. You will want a second one by the weekend.
