August 1 Garden Journal Challenge - CLOSED, NO MORE ENTRIES PLEASE

Helllllllloooo my garden gnomes, pixies and fairies! It's time to get out your mushroom ink and bamboo quills and scribe the best #gardenjournal post you've ever done! It's August and I just know you are either thinking about seeds or eyeing off fat tomatoes for harvest. Soon you'll be canning and pickling, stewing and frying and wondering why you planted soooo many zucchinis this year - again! If you've written a post in the last 24 hours under the #gardenjournal tag feel free to submit that by dropping the link below.

Don't forget to:

• write in English only (translator is fine, but it's much cleaner for me to read just one language instead of scrolling through dual language - I find it messy)
• Use the #gardenjournal as your first tag
• Post in community
• Reblog this post if you don't mind.

I also want to congratulate @proto26 for winning the 10 Question Challenge - you got nine right! Thanks also to @anttn and @hindavi for joining in! I also have an awful confession to make - forgot to send winnings from the last challenge so I'm off to do that now - oops! Do remind me if I forget...

Shamelessly, as always, tagging gardeners - I hate missing my favourite challenges here and I'm sure you do too!
