I just use a simply page as outlined below. This allows me to add a page to a notebook for each graft, then keep notes along the way, keep it on file, refer back to it if problems come up later, etc. Once you plug the first date in, you just count off the days and plug in the dates. I keep the log book in the truck and have found out that waiting till the end of the day and then logging everything back in a computer, just wastes more time and things are easily forgotten 8 hours later at home at the end of a long day.
I keep this form on a word doc and print out forms when needed.
It looks like this....
