I know exactly how it feels like to be 'shitty' with instructions and rules, lol.
I can't even follow my own: I didn't add the #gardenjournal2019 tag to my post. Will need to fix that, lol.
As a result, I'm not very strict when it comes to the rules. If the post is about you growing anything, it contains some pictures and you use the tag, I'm fine with it. :0)
Things apren't growing very fast here either. The weather has gone from too hot and dry to too cold and way too much rain. The veggies are all confused, lol
