That's great! I'm hoping that putting garden photos on my blog will help me keep better track of when things happen each year.

Let me also put in a plug for the National Phenology Network's Citizen Science activity, Project Budburst.

They're asking people to keep track of the dates of certain events, so they can get a nationwide picture of variability. It's a neat project, and I think participatory science is awesome!
