Hello caterpillar chasers, pumpkin hoarders, chilli lovers, flower sniffers and dirt lovers, welcome to OCTOBER!

This is where I'm dreading the long months ahead where the northern hemisphere gives up on gardening as the days get shorter and the snow covers the gardens that thrilled us all in summer. Still, there's our tropical friends in Asia and the southern hemisphere gardeners that hopefully will hold up the garden fort for us all!

All you need to do is write a post in the community about your garden - the good, the bad or the ugly!
