Wonderful post as always. I've been soooo busy lately, but I'll have to set some time aside to read the posts you have highlighted here.

Have a splendid day my friend.

It must be full gardening season for you at the moment. Lots to be done. I hope you've still got plenty of maple syrup to keep your energy levels up. 😉

I'm not sure that it's a good thing that the days are getting longer, I think that I may be over-farming, as we like to say.

Syrup still hanging in there, but I'll have to get the wife to stop giving it away to the kids. 😁

See you on the other side.

As long as it stays as hobitizing I'm sure it will stay good. I'm looking forward to seeing what you're up to.

You're welcome. I forgot to add beneficiaries, which would have been you, so the tip and vote here are in lieu of that.

Someone in your Community disrespected my Post with the Rose, without leaving a reason why...

Thankyou for your query. There's no need to leave a reason why. Our community supports gardening content - yours wasn't gardening content. If you look at our community rules, we also expect quality content and a minimum word count, as we believe in quality. We advise you to read the community rules in all the communities you post in, and to be respectfully relevant.

I could have become one of your most experienced Gardeners, and Creators of Gardens, but the way it stands now, I will never post another blog in the Hive Garden Community...

Could have. I was looking forward to a post from you where you actually talked about gardens in a comprehensive, dedicated, relevant and well formatted way and didn't re-use a thumbnail of a rose you used back in April. I'll have to be happy with the other fantastic posts in the Hive Garden instead!

Have to say, people rarely have hissy fits when they're muted due to not paying attention to the group rules. Perhaps you're unfamiliar with how communities work, and what muting means on Hive. 99 percent of people just get on with it, or make edits to happily adjust their work, knowing that communities have rules and guidelines to help keep their community full of worthy, relevant and useful content. Every post that has made edits to suit we have unmuted.

Best of luck on your Hive journey.

The photo of the Rose was taken by me... My words are worth more than my photos... Too bad I won't be writing about what I've been doing in the Garden... By the way... My Gardens are Weed Free, and I don't Publish a Garden Magazine... I'm into "How to Design and Build a Dream Garden" for the lowest possible cost...

You all seem to be on Power Trips... I can't do this, and I can't do that... Do any of you Spend Money on your Gardens...??? I could have told you how to get most of it for Free... My Cell Phone takes very good pictures, but I can no longer send them to my Computer for Posting here... Give me a break... I edited out everything between those two line, because if I'm to be "Muted" it's only fair that I remove it from the Post... By the way... Most of us have Lives outside of Gardening... I love gardening, but there's more to me than that... Remember this... Those in Power, made fun of Jesus...

Are you comparing yourself to Jesus? Love it. 😂

Hive can be SO entertaining!

minismallholding last year

You mean the garden community? The post which had a picture of a rose, but talked about silver and gold coins? The post wasn't disrespected, not even downvoted, merely muted for a gardening community. A read through the pinned post should make it obvious as to why it was muted. Wouldn't a stacker community have been a better fit? You can still cross post to such a community and this community's mute shouldn't show there.

Just because I mention Silver and Gold doesn't mean I'm not out in the Garden every day... After all, it does cost a small fortune to create a Garden... You'll never see another one of my blogs in the Hive Garden Community again...

minismallholding last year

That's not quite how communities work. Even if you garden, if the content of the actual post isn't specific to gardening then it won't be what people expect to see in a gardening community, so they will just ignore it at best. As the content was about gold and silver coins, then a community which is focused on stacking or finance would be a good option. I don't really know much about those communities, but Leo finance should cover anything money/investment related and it's a prominent community.

Do you know how to search communities to find ones that are appropriate?

How do you Pay for your Garden needs...??? I thought the Garden Community might like seeing a nice looking Rose... I deleted everything I wrote, except the First and Last Sentence... There was no call for putting a "GUEST" on "MUTE"... I think the Power went to someones head... I'd love to know who put me on mute... No more replies... This is getting old... A simple comment would have been so much better than being "MUTED"... You have no idea how much that Pissed me off...

You're welcome. I love seeing your windows adorned with the growing shelves. I'm guessing there are down sides to them as well, though.

Only that it's hard to see outside for 3 months, and I can't pull the heavy shades to keep cold out or hot sun out until I take them down.

It is amazing how people in extreme weather climates need to plan ahead & use smart techniques to keep everything sustainable. :)

I don't think I could do it. I enjoy the generous climate in SA which pretty much means something will grow all year round. We just need a lot of water to get everything through summer.

anli last year

It makes me want more, for sure! I am unfortunately bounced with a spontaneous attempt with my last post, probably because it was not exclusive English or too short. Too bad.

The plant staircase is now inaugurated and thriving. Photos have been taken. One day I will report. I just don't know where yet. Best regards! !invest_vote

WE definitely don't mind dual language, just make sure it's not in columns or switching between one or the other - do a block post in English, then follow by your language. @anttn does this well - use his style as an example.

Well, my first attempt is muted, then tell me why. I usually don't put English first, but I was impressed by myself making use of a jump link first time ever. See https://ecency.com/hive-140635/@anli/diy-plant-stairs-planning-en#english

Hi @anli, we do put a reason in the pop up box but it would have been muted as the title and beginning of post was in German. Our rules clearly state English only as our curators are English speakers, however, we do make exceptions of English is first and then the second language. As we are always busy, we don't have time to explain on every post why they have been muted, and like other communities, expect people to read the rules and post guidelines we have pinned to our profile, but always respond if people ask why they were muted. Had you asked at the time and quickly corrected it, we would have unmuted. Hope this explains things. Your jump link was very cool though! It's just so much easier for our curators if it's English. It's nothing to do with anything else but ease and clarity. 💙

@riverflows, thank you so much for your feedback on this. Well, to be absolutely honest, when I did the post and read your guidelines afterwards I first needed some empathy for changing my habit of moving English first. Then, after I put in the jump for a compromise, I felt like "Well, we'll see what happens." Next day I saw the mute.

First off, having the post still muted looks and feels awkward. So now after having a full bucket with empathy from my own reflections and yours, I changed the post with ease. Now it's English first and I am looking forward to having it unmuted. My next post already in the back of my head for hopefully being welcome in your pleasant community. !invest_vote

Of course! Consider it unmuted! Too easy. 💙 just on road today so I'll do it tonight. 💙💙

anli last year

Well, sounds too easy. Maybe it's a technical thing that my blog still looks muted to me? I love it when things are out of the way. !invest_vote
