Oof, it's already May 2nd in Australia but it's the 1st of May officially somewhere, right? My only excuse is a migraine that even being in the garden won't fix.
It's almost been hard to keep up with the awesome content coming out of the community - it definitely is the busy season so hard to spread all the votes around! If you can spare a little to delegate to @gardenhive you could help contribute to the community in immeasurable ways.
Looking forward to your garden updates!

The Challenge
Write a #gardenjournal post! This could be:
- Detailing what's happening in your garden, from successes to failures
- Writing about a friend's garden
- Writing about a visit to a botanical garden or nursery
- Writing about your favourite plant
- Garden produce recipes
- Prepping posts about growing and preserving your own food
The Guidelines
- Please do NOT share ten photos of the SAME plant! Be selective.
- Use the tag #gardenjournal as your first tag
- 300 words minimum - this is not a photo challenge.
- Comment on other posts in the community
- Use #gardenjournal as your first tag and post in the community.
- No AI generated posts please - you will be immediately muted
- If your post is prepping related, use the tag #GARDENPREPPER as well.
- Drop the LINK to your post UNDER THIS POST.
Your enthusiasm shines through the content you create and your engagement with community and will be rewarded with upvotes and reblogs, and hopefully lots of engagement from fellow gardeners and Hive folk!
Let's see fab formatting, beautiful photos, and thoughtful post - the kind of post that makes us want to go and tidy our garden!
Shamelessly tagging...
