It's finally here - drum roll please - the FIRST GARDEN JOURNAL CHALLENGE FOR 2022!! I don't know about you but my beans are a shakin' and my tomatos are bursting out their skins with excitement!

After a well deserved break after a January rest, I'm DYING to see what is going on in your gardens!

What's changed? Well, our cover image has, because it's a new year! I'm also making it go for ten days to give people chance to enter - and DO enter more than once if you have more than one thing to show off about!

If nothing is happening in your garden or you're struggling, here's some ideas:

• Draw/write a plan for your fantasy garden and explain what you'd like to create
• Experiment for the first time with a gardening project eg growing bucket mushrooms
• Share an instructional post from last year's gardening adventures
• Share your friend or family's garden and interview them about it.

The prizes are set up a little differently too. @plantstoplanks generously donated 50 HIVE which we'll spread across 5 challenges. The prizes will work as follows:

VEGETABLE GARDEN PRIZE - 10 HIVE, to be distributed amongst the best posts depending on entries.

OTHER GARDEN PRIZE - 10 HIVE, to be distrubted amongst the best posts, depending on the entries. If you have a better name for this prize, do let me know!

Selfie Prize Go in the draw to win 5 HIVE for the best garden selfie!
