Exciting times in the Hive Garden world as @artemislives takes over the running of The Herbal Hive, a sister community to our green thumbed one that focusses on discussion of medicinal and culinary herbs. I know I'll be writing a #gardenjournal post with #theherbalhive and #herbalism as secondary tags this month in support of this, and quite possibly write a dedicated post too as mugwort and lemon balm, and many other herbs, burst into life in my garden. In the northern hemisphere you might be preserving them or using their dried form for winter remedies, so that would be great to share there too. The @gardenhive will also be popping over and voting content there too so do join in your support.

You might have noticed the new look images - I do this when I get bored of the old ones, and when I get sick of a particular app! I hope you like them - but as you know, it's not what it looks like, it's how it functions and what purpose it brings as well. By now The Hive Garden is a real standard for how you all go about sharing and supporting community, and sharing your passion for gardening. Kudos!!

Well I can't believe it's November already and I know that many gardeners have would up for winter. You can still continue to support community by engaging with others and joining in the challenges. If you're hibernating a little maybe a bit of delegation to the @gardenhive account could be a good way to show your support - those votes go along way to supporting the members who post regularly.

The Challenge

Write about what's going on in your gardens in November, even if it's a complete disaster!

You can also write about friends gardens or botanical gardens if your own isn't really up to scratch.
