The monthly garden journal will be taking a break in January, but don't worry, there are other garden challenges to keep you inspired. In the Hive Garden community we have the holiday season selfie challenge from @riverflows and over in the Homesteading community there's a weeding challenge from @paradoxtma.
The North is looking very cold as we approach Christmas. A white Christmas is the dream for many. When I see snow, Winter Wonderland often comes to mind, but as beautiful as it looks, it is not an easy time of year for living things. Over at @goldenoakfarm there is plenty of snow, but there are still some plants to be seen.
From winter and this knowledgeable homesteader in America, to summer and another experienced homesteader in South Africa. @breezin often has something interesting happening or good advice to share. This time she talks soil health and nutrition.
Back over in chilly North America @thebigsweed and @farm-mom have been busy with trees. Firewood collecting can't begin too soon for next winter, it seems, and tree protection is another winter job.
If you don't like the cold and want to dream of warmer places, then maybe @arveno's little cacti will be just the thing for you. They are cute in every way and he planted them in a way that makes me think of the desert. Which one is your favourite?
