It's finally here - drum roll please - the FIRST GARDEN JOURNAL CHALLENGE FOR 2022!! I don't know about you but my beans are a shakin' and my tomatos are bursting out their skins with excitement!
After a well deserved break after a January rest, I'm DYING to see what is going on in your gardens!
What's changed? Well, our cover image has, because it's a new year! I'm also making it go for ten days to give people chance to enter - and DO enter more than once if you have more than one thing to show off about!
If nothing is happening in your garden or you're struggling, here's some ideas:
- Draw/write a plan for your fantasy garden and explain what you'd like to create
- Experiment for the first time with a gardening project eg growing bucket mushrooms
- Share an instructional post from last year's gardening adventures
- Share your friend or family's garden and interview them about it.
The prizes are set up a little differently too. @plantstoplanks generously donated 50 HIVE which we'll spread across 5 challenges. The prizes will work as follows:
VEGETABLE GARDEN PRIZE - 10 HIVE, to be distributed amongst the best posts depending on entries.
OTHER GARDEN PRIZE - 10 HIVE, to be distrubted amongst the best posts, depending on the entries. If you have a better name for this prize, do let me know!
Selfie Prize Go in the draw to win 5 HIVE for the best garden selfie!
Conditions
- Post in the Hive Garden Community, but #gardenjournal tags should be used
- No limit on photos but please consider quality over quantity

Not much going on in my garden... we've been sleeping mostly!!!
Thinking about:
Creative Gardens
or
Beyond the Vegg Gardens
I'll try to write one... but we're on our way to a festival so, maybe not!
Omg FROSTY ..woo hoo have FUN
Will do... Thanks!
haha that was ment to say we were sleding mostly... not SLEEPING!!!! But yeah thanks we're having fun
I'm happy to create a garden update, here's my entry: https://peakd.com/hive-140635/@discoveringarni/garden-journal-2-sowing-seeds-and-how-to-make-tissue-paper-roll-seed-starter-pots Thanks @afterglow for tagging me to the challenge 😊
You're welcome, good luck (^_^)
Here's whats happening in my garden...😒
Oh goodness, that's looking a little ... cold! I imagine it'll be southern hemisphere/equatorial folk posting I reckon! HOpe you are well, dear @angryman, long time no speak!
Yes... I've been a bit less active on the chain except for curating content, but I'm quite well, thank you and hope you are too...😎 I probably should comment more often to at least let people know I passed through their page and that I haven't passed on to that 'other place'...???
Well yes, I always wonder about those that drop off the chain and whether, god forbid, they have passed off the coil. How would we KNOW? .
True... I can think of few that just seemed to dissappear not knowing why and their wallets went untouched in some cases as well...??? I'm planning to let people know that I'm dead, afterwards.
OH good! Given that you won't be burdened by the physical world, would you mind letting me know you are dead by making sure my garden is weed free? Because then I'd know, and could think of you fondly.
😎
Will do...!!!Now that’s life. Oh dear
😎
In the snow here too, but we'll be in Florida shortly!
A tinge of jealousy is rising within me...😏
We escaped one ice storm!!!
😎
Initially I was excited about this ... but now my post is a bit of a reality check. Maybe I'll pop in another one @riverflows

I found this interesting and thanks to @itsostylish for keeping me in mind :) And here's my participation:
https://peakd.com/hive-140635/@ifarmgirl/my-wee-gardening-history
Thank you and I'm on to reading your entries too :)
Wow, Interesting. I'm in. 😍😍😍
Excellent! I hoped you would be!
Sure, I will 😉.
Hola disculpen mi pregunta pero el jardín tiene que ser propio...!??
How interesting... just this week I will look for soil for my new cuttings 💕
Fantastic @kyleana!
Add me up to monthly alert (^_^)
By the way, this challenge excites me since there has been a lot of changes in my vegetable garden that I was not able to share with the community. I think this will be the right time to share them for everyone to see. Have a nice day ahead.
Excellent, can't wait to see! Will sign you up with joy!
Thank you very much (^_^)
Ok, so here's the first one again:

Add I'm tagging @porters cause I've not seen her indoor garden in a while and @foxfireorchards because I'm wondering what he's got growing in February in Texas.
I'll start working one up. It's been a while since I posted about the garden, but it hasn't been long since I worked in the garden. Actually, it may or may not present an issue at work tonight that my clothes are dirty from planting this afternoon. 😉
🤫 Don't tell my boss.
LOL Nate!
Great tags there! And fabulous, way to get in quick!
I'm starting to think about moving south. The North East has been getting slammed this winter... @foxfireorchards how's Texas these days?
Thanks for tagging me I'm getting some photos together to join in on this first Hive Garden challenge of 2022 - off to check out your garden posts now!
Oh! I do have a flower and vegetable garden full of trees!
Wonderful! Can't wait to read about them!
I'm going to push myself this year to do some good gardening, I've been prepping these past few months and am almost ready to start my seedlings inside! Most of my seeds were reclaimed from purchased produce so it'll be interesting to see what happens with them!
WE'd lvoe to hear about it! And welcome to the community!
Wow I can't wait to see other peeps gardens! we'll be travelling a bit soon, so I won't have much growing, I'll make sure to check out the garden team!
Oh your comments are a great way to join in. Travelling? Are you moving again or on holiday?
For now we're just gonna go have a look 😄, keeping things flexible...
Yeha I'll definitely check the entries!!!
Where do you think you will look? We are doing the same. We know where we want to be but havne't foudn teh right place yet. Good luck.
Garden Woes. Haha, here’s my woe https://ecency.com/hive-140635/@itsostylish/garden-woes
Hooray for another year of the Garden Journal ahead! We'll be starting some seedlings soon, but still pretty bare at the moment. Might just have to enjoy everyone else's for this month, but hopefully by March we'll start to have a few things on the way at least! I'm definitely chomping at the bit to get going...
How're y'all faring with the winter storm up there?
Hey @foxfireorchards, I'm in Atlanta, so we've been pretty clear of any of the worst of the winter weather. A few cases of flurries in recent weeks, but other than that just the usual chilly weather interspersed with random 60-degree days, haha. How are things in your neck of the woods?
Here is my entry. Since there's permafrost outside, I resort to my indoor plants.
