It's time for the June garden journal challenge! As I write there's a cold wind blowing in Australia's south, but I bet where you are the sun is shining, the bees are out, and the plants are growing. Many of you are coping with extreme weather but are finding ways through!

First another congratulations to @babetter, @umirais, @owasco, @sofs-su, @brand028, and @buckaroobaby who all won a prize in May. Your winnings should be in your wallet now - apologies for the admin delay!

Guidelines

• Post about what's happening in your garden this week.
• Alternatively, anything garden related counts, such as a visit to a friend's garden, garden plans and dreams, failures and successes.
• Low effort posts will be ignored (though we generally don't have those!)
• Don't forget to engage with other gardeners!

VEGETABLE GARDEN PRIZE - 5 HIVE, to be distributed amongst the best posts depending on entries.

PASSION GARDEN PRIZE - 5 HIVE, to be awarded to the most passionate gardener of the week.

Philosophy Prize For the 'thought of the week' - something mindful!

Tagging below some past entrants - if you'd like to be alerted every month let me know in the comments and I'll add your name next month.
