Hive Garden Journal: End of October 🐌 🍊👩‍🌾

Such is the global nature of HIVE that I've gone a bit weird with the cover image this week - it's Autumn in the northern hemisphere, whilst it's totally Spring here in Australia!

I adore this photo by @mamrita which shows a gorgeous sunrise in Germany and the lovely autumn leaves. It wasn't strictly a garden journal post but I thought it was worth sharing, don't you think? Do drop your autumnal photos as a comment below for a chance to win a HIVE tip!*

Don't forget the #gardenjournal challenge starts in three days! Keep an eye out for it and please join in - even if it's to talk about your garden tidy up and the autumnal vibe!

What's been going on...

There was some sadness as @scribblingramma reflected on her summer garden, and how age and illness may prevent them doing another garden next year. I think we all face that at some point, but I hope we manage to keep our hands in the soil somehow, even if it's a pot or a small raised bed.

@cesar21 walked us through his basil sowing - I planted LOTS of basil too as in my opinion you can't have too much basil, amirite? @oscarcede is doing the same, but with coriander - my other favourite.

Nice to see @craigcryptoking in the community, sharing jacaranda trees - aren't they stunning?

@kennyroy has started growing chayote - looking forward to seeing how mine grow too. Apparently they used to be quite common in Victorian backyards but fell out of favour at some point. They're gaining popularity again now. Do you grow them? What are your tips?

@manoldonchev wrote a post about their garden complete with poetry and songs - you know when you're out in the garden and you are singing along? Their photos were also delightful!

Also loved the way that Manol signed off his post - peace and parsley! Yeah, right on!

**This week a little beneficiary go to @manoldonchev and @cesar21. Keep up the happy gardening, folks!

Peace and Parsley!
