Now I'm feeling guilty with you calling me co-leader when I feel like I'm such a slacker. Guilt tripping me into upping my game. 😅
I'm pretty sure we have some other lovely curators who trawl through the garden posts too. I often get beaten to nominations. 😁
Stop being modest. Xx stupid labels anyway..co conspiring supportive Aussie dwelling garden loving friend took too long to say x
You do more than you realise and just enough for me to stay sane x
I don't know if I can help your isolation sanity, though. Hope you're feeling a little better and can get out into the garden again. Let's be honest, that's where true sanity saving lies.
Your game is spot on and I think @riverflows would agree.
Flattery will get you nowhereyou can keep up the flattery 😁ahahah xx
Absolutely she does!!! xxx
love, only love for you Gardeners <3
I feel the same..big love!
<3
gardening plants and relations between the being in general appear me everyday a bit more as the ultimate care !
as always!!! Tag me in anything garden... lol
thanks my lovelies :-)
:-)
Woo hoo... Can't wait to get to yours tomorrow to read the text version 😂😂
The bears are out and so are these critters which are playing havoc with our bird feeders and some of our flower beds.
We just purchased a trail cam to see what the heck was up. Now that we know I'll have to live trap them and relocate.
What are they?? Racoons?? Pesky darn critters!!!
Pesky for sure, but I would imagine that most gardeners deal with critters of their own.
Many of the people that I follow from South Africa talk about it being impossible to keep the monkeys out of their gardens.
I would rather deal with the raccoons.
And here, rabbits and blackbirds. And in India, tigers -aaaaahhhhhh. I was just reading @kansuze's post about burying forks in the garden, tine side up, to deter them - have you heard of this trick?
I just recently read an article on the internet which had a dozen or so gardening tips and this one was mentioned.
I thought it was a pretty good idea. I have not tried this . What I thought may work a little better would be using those wooden skewers for grilling. They would disturb the plants a little less when putting them in the ground and they are very sharp.
I wonder if the fork idea would keep the tigers out of the garden?
I think it would, you'd just need really big forks :P and maybe run an electric wire between them....
good idea with the skewers! I've gone for rounds of chicken wire. Doesn't loook tooooo bad actually.
My day, every day:
'WHAT THE F0RKING FORKETY FORK ARE YOU DIGGING A HOLE THERE FOR YOU LITTLE....'

Shits! It's been nearly a month since I last went to the ranch. Weather has been... ergh... rainy and windy mostly. And where the heck is the sun? I don't wanna know how out composter is =/
Wow that's a long time. Yes, things slow down in cooler weather and it's less tempting to work the land! It was lovely today with sun out though, even though it was cold
.
It's interesting how much the lack of sun affects me.. like I become super anxious, stiff, everything hurts, recovering from exercising becomes a nightmare. How to cope with that?
Try Vitamin D tablets. Trust me.
Checked. Mine are expired, going to buy more tomorrow. I've been feeling like I have a fever all day, though I don't, and covid test returns negative... shit might be anxiety from not being able to train because of the weather.
Hey! Thank you for the attention, it means a lot. And I hope you guys are doing good over there.
Always buddy. Mushrooms have Vit D too! I had aches for about a week before I was hammered with COVID this week. Just saying. Yeah we are fine, apart from that, Jamie just came down with it this week too and it's holidays so a bit of a bummer. I'm way better today though, keen to go surfing tomorrow.
Was it like a flu? I know it can be light/mild but I get super anxious whenever I 'feel like I got it'. And then my parents keep on bugging me because I didn't take the jab.
Hey! I got my mom into mushrooms. We're having it for breakfast along with eggs and spinach. Super healthy.
Well, I got it done this month! Here you go:

Darling you forgot to post in the Hive garden community! xx
I didn't forget, I didn't know it had to be that or my main blog... Live and learn....
I got in early for a change https://peakd.com/@nikv/gardenjournal-midwinter-colour-and-my-greenhouse-is-happening
I'll be in this this month. Been overhauling the ground level of the front garden so we can grow even more!
Awesome. Hey when do you start your tomato/caps seeds? Out of interest?
I'll start to think about them in August. I've lots of Devil's Claw and Kangaroo Apple cuttings rooting now so will be doing a lot of grafting of Eggplants, Chili, Tomatoes etc this year.
Can we also share fruits of our garden in this challenge or just vegetables?
Anything garden related at all!
Ohh okay thank you ☺️

Hello friends and especially greetings to @riverflows, I just published my first post in this community. To participate in this Garden Journal, I'm still not very clear what the publications that enter the contest should be like, if you give me a little guidance I would like to participate.
Try reading others under the #gardenjournal tag and you'll soon get an idea :)
Here's my post... I may be starting to write a bunch again!!! I'm feeling inspired these days. Thanks @riverflows!!! I hope you're well.
Showing the progress of our garden this year! It's coming along nice so far! https://peakd.com/hive-140635/@senorcoconut/knee-high-by-the-4th-of-july-and-our-3-sisters-down-to-only-2

Well, sort of - it depends what you call in time!
Did I miss the deadline? I thought I was doing good having it in the first week in July - a be it late on the last day of the week.
Oh no, I just got my post ready, I thought we had to submit before the 10th of the month.
I can't believe I missed it this month! I started it, got all the photos in with captions, and couldn't find the time to put in text. erg. Next month!!!
You can still post it!! And then start working on the August one! Would love to see your update for this month!
everything has accelerated
can you feel it?
wait a while eternity
let me be in this moment without rushing off to the next
a cucumber patch gone mad
simply mad
about life
Perfect .... I love it! I should do a post just about all the wonderful poem comments you write. .. maybe you could just do a short update with this poem so we get a sense of how it's grown... Or just drop a pic here for moi!
Ooh better get on it then 🌿
