Whoooooaaahhhh you Northern Hemisphere peeps, you are really starting to ramp up the #gardening posts now that SPRING is here! It's so exciting to see your enthusiasm and your gardens starting to grow.
Depending on time, I might even do an early April/late April challenge, depending on how busy I am - we'll see! There's so much going on in your gardens that I'm afraid I'll be buried under a huge backload of awesome #gardeningjournal content! But that's not such a bad thing, amirite?
What to Share
Do you have a herb garden, a vegetable patch, a flower garden or even grow vegetables on your window sill? Maybe you have a grow room under lights, a community garden or you are growing roses. It doesn't matter what kind of garden it is - we are all different in our tastes! Diversity is one of the interesting things about this challenge.
Try to use at least 300 words describing your garden - what's worked well? what's failed? You might like to make your post more appealing with a personal story or even a garden recipe. You might like to focus on only one plant or the whole garden.
You might also like to 'theme' your post around environmental values, abundance, community, health, sustainability or any other related theme.

Prizes
Each month, I'll give out a total of 30 HIVE from my personal account, and 300 LOTUS. I'll distribute this how I see fit - if I don't get a lot of entries, or they aren't at a good standard we expect on HIVE, I might give away less - but I'm usually pretty generous and may give away more!
As Natural Medicine supports this kind of content, we'll also be upvoting, reblogging and even tipping the best ones, and submitting them to curation projects for further support.
The due date will be the 12th of April.
Above all, have fun, and happy gardening!
Welcoming any sponsors that might like to contribute to this challenge!
With Love,

My mama @buckaroo says you are also hippy organic like her @riverflows. She's taking photos of our cold gardens for me to write about. I'm going to help her write because Daddy wrote over her key and now she can't write on her page.
Hello @buckaroobaby ! Nice to meet you! Oh that's a shame that she lost her keys!
She better make a new account - tell her to let me know when she does.
OMG, what? @buckaroo got her kiddo on here?!
How are y'all doing over there? Gosh, it's been so long! Tell her to get back on, I was thinking of y'all just the other day when I was looking at my chickens and remembering my favorite chook Koekoek that she helped name. 💚

Haha posted again before the challenge even went live, didn't know it was continuing. But here is my link for this time, thanks for permitting me to join despite having posted earlier. Looking forward to the other entries and inspirations. 😁

What a thrill, the only bad thing about a garden is waiting so long for our flowers to grow.
Yes it definitely teaches one great lessons about patience, especially since we are trained in our modern fast world that we need to see fast results. A garden takes time to show the results of ones work and nurture that flows into it :)
This month I can't stop participating, I always love this initiative; and although the rains have not started yet, I will show you part of my internal garden and my back garden. A big greeting to all.
Thank you very much. i gonna participate with my garden work soon.
Great, I always post about crypto but maybe I'll join in. Regards @riverflows
Awesome. I always love seeing what's happening in people's gardens. Good to see people growing crypto AND plants!
Sounds good, I grow crypto and plants. As I have no land at home I'm trying some hydroponic crops, let's see how it goes.
The natural is fresh and medicine for health.
This is an awesome initiative @riverflows. Fingers crossed I'll have something to add soon.
💚🤗🌸
I love gardening...though we don't really have 'seasons' here, I'm going to share a bit about the garden where most of the veggies/herbs/salads for my restaurant comes from...family business!
Where's "here" without seasons? Does that mean you can plant whatever whenever?
I'm from Mauritius my friend.
Well...we enjoy a mild tropical climate all year round.
The winter months are typically warm and dry from May to November (minimum we can drop is like 14°C), , while summer is hot and quite humid from December to April (Maximum of 36°C).
So yes...in general we can plant nearly anything whole year round...the only problem we get...if only we get the visit of a cyclone/storm...then for a month or so we will suffer...then back to normal very quick.
It's still too early to plant anything outside here, but I'm starting to have a gardening itch so I was looking at my seeds today and I may start some indoors soon. LOL

I adored your post!
Thank you, I am glad that I was able to get started with this journal.
This is very interesting.
Bagi para pencinta hive dan natural medicine Indonesia, sebaiknya jangan melewatkan ini.
I don't think I want to miss this. I have a garden to show off. Well, even though the past few days I have been a little lackluster. Well, That's about it. This is my green garden, don't be surprised if you see something red, it's chili.
I get really excited when I see @minismholding and @riverflows sharing gifts ... https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@moex-photografy/let-s-take-a-peek-at-my-green-garden

There hasn't been much change since my last #GardenJournal post except for a few more seedlings.
We had a big dump of snow that threw us back into winter just when I was thinking that I might be able to get into my garden and plant some cool weather seeds.
Just today I noticed the first tips of the tulip tarda starting to break through the ground.
Should have something for next time.
Oh that late snow holds this back a bit doesn't it? I'm a bit worried about the May garden journal - I might ahve twice as many posts!

Hey look ma, I did it! I actually did it! This one was hard made. Ouch, I'm sore...

Lucky you have kratom!!! I love your garden so much, I think because I've been following it for so long, and appreciate how much you've learnt and where you've come from!
Here’s my post!! Hope I made the deadline!!!
Guava Harvest Time!
Sorry I wasn't there to follow up, @riverflows. Had to let the last kitty go on the 31st (2nd one in 6 weeks time) and my mind has been elsewhere.
Good to see you has a good number of entrants again!! 💜
