On the 1st of every month, Hive Gardens get together and share their gardens. We've been going for a few years now believe it or not, and we've all got to know each other's gardens and each other. I can't believe it's the end of the year and I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas yet again - and with so much joy in my heart for all that you Hive Gardeners contribute from all over the world. May your Christmas be a joyful one, and if you don't celebrate it in a traditional sense, happy solstice, or simply best wishes for the holiday season. We will definitely be back in January!
December 'Wrapped' Up
Apologies for getting this post out so late - you know how it gets! A gentle reminder that if you didn't drop the link under the challenge post, it didn't get included.
@thebigsweed is tidying up and OCD hobbitising his garden - impressed with his 50 POUNDS of beetroot!
I think we all must listen to @owasco and GROW - we can't complain about meager tables if we haven't made an effort to grow our own vegetables, right? Though it's been snowing, she's had a decent harvest with some preserved and stashed away.
Isn't this picture of a chrystanthemum with snow the prettiest picture ever? Snow's been falling in @travoved's garden too.
The first garden WITHOUT snow is @bigeyes2012 - her husband's chilli and even cucumber is doing well. We can always rely on people from more temperate and tropical climes to keep us fed in garden delights!
@sofs-su got super philosophical on the power of her garden to relax, destress her, but also to be a place of creativity and joy, and a place of learning. I think we can all relate here.
My garden is about colors be it cacti and succulents, flowers and fruits or leaves. Color is what makes my eyes pop, my mind dance, my senses tingle and my emotions brim with positivity. Shapes too have a way of winding their way into my heart, textures make me itch with longing to touch and feel what lies before me. What appeals to senses stimulate my mind as well. Most of my problems are solved in the garden, my ideas, creativity are birthed here. - @sofs-su
