This month is a really one of transitions, as we're either entering Spring, or leaving Summer behind for September. In Australia, we mark Spring as the first of September, and in a few weeks time, both Europe and the Americas will be entering Autumn, if you're following the astronomical calender for the seasons.
AND IF YOU'RE ME, YOU'RE JUMPED THE GUN BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SET THE CALENDER SCHEDULE RIGHT.... DU'OH!
Dont worry, I'll post a reminder again in September 😂😂😂🌱🌱🌱... Note it doesn't start til Sep 1.
Of course, as Australian gardeners like @minismallholding, @ligayagardner and me celebrate the coming of warmer weather to plant summer vegetables (unless you're in Queensland like @blingit with a more tropical climate), some parts of the world are feeling bitter sweet as Autumn is not too far away. However, it's also been a rough summer with a lot of dry soil and wilting plants, so cooler weather and rain is welcome too.
What's happening in YOUR gardens as the season changes?

Well, that's great, but your comment is a bit spammy and doesn't acknowledge this garden community or the challenge at all.
I love the The Hive Garden and am in for this. However, it's also been a rough summer with a lot of dry soil and wilting plants.
We've been seeing a lot of dry in the rest of the world of late. It's bucketing down with rain here and so cold today. Maybe in a couple of months our weather will be reversed
You can even write about that!
I also accidentally posted this 8 days too early!
Ahahahaha, I wondered about your timing. Totally something I would do: I went to my optometrist appointment 1 week early the other day
Oh no, how funny! Thanks for your understanding. Maybe I'm just Uber excited about Spring.

wow, a very interesting contest for the members of this community. please remind me in the contests that exist in this community, I want to participate.
Wow, thanks for tagging. I want to participate in this, I hope I have a good idea and time for it. Anyway, if you don't mind, I just wanted to ask if I won the last contest @riverflows, I thought I'd won a few Hive prizes. 😀
I haven't sent the Hive yet... Sorry!! Been busy. Will get to it today, thanks for reminder!!
Okay, no worries @riverflows. Sorry to ask too. Thank you so much 🙂.
No I'm pleased for reminder. I didn't get a Chance today and my active keys on my laptop not my phone. Xx
Okay, your welcome @riverflows. No problem at all just does it when you can 😉.
Hello @riverflows,
can you add me to the "alert-list" please? Thank you.
Sure!
It is nice to read all hive gardener's posts about their experiences I don't know yet what to write how about our Indian garden but we are missing it for three years. Is it ok to write about how it was? I had some photos. We have very bad internet these days. one day is ok, one day unstable
greetings ❤️😊
Oh goodness yes a reflection about your old garden you miss would be great!
Yes, it has been a very dry summer in Central Europe. Yet, it has also been a fabulous season for some plants, especially tomatoes and peppers. Also, grapes are ripe already, almost a month too early. Later I'll post some photos from my friend's garden. He's a professional :)
Thanks for your efforts - tipped and reblogged!

I won't wait for September 1st :)
No worries!! Those tomatoes look amaaazing
Thankyou! I got it published a week early, woops .. challenge starts on Sep 1. The heat would be awesome for tomatoes indeed!
I was wondering if the schedule changed but it's actually great posting it early so we get reminded and can prepare for it :)
Our little garden is a mess. Been mostly wet here for days and there was a news of tropical storm coming too. Hopefully the sky will clear our soon for our plants to breath :)
Thanks for being so positive, I felt like a right fool!!!
Thanks for being lovely, I felt like a right fool...hope the weather fines up!
Thank you and hoping for that :) Enjoy your day

Ahaha, I do these kind of stuff ALL the time, so I always find it cute and super calming when others do it too! xxxx
Haha it's always good to know you aren't the only dickhead! ahhaha....
Oh yes :))
I guess I have plenty of time to come up with a clever garden selfie! I think I have an idea, now that you mention it. But will I be able to execute it?
I've also been meaning to share some pictures of some beautiful bonsai trees I saw. That might be a separate post, if I have time!
Hi, I'm a little mess with dates. Here we don't know what it is, winter or summer, although it looks like the former, the weather is at 38 degrees for a few weeks, so some plants are suffering a bit. I hope you can let me know for the next entry, plus I want to post my entry. I send you hugs
