Hello again gardening friends! May began with an amazing trip to Vancouver, Canada, but I'm back in time to check in for the May Garden Journal fun. Speaking of gardens, after missing the opportunity when we passed through on our cruise last year, we did make the jump over to Victoria to see Butchart Gardens. That deserves a whole post itself, but my goodness were those gardens stunning...

Where had the time gone? Once again, I'm grateful for gardening season to pull me back to Hive to be able to share and see what everyone else has growing! Life continues to be busy here in the real world, but it's a wonderful time of year to slow down and spend some time among the plants.

June turned out to be DRY and HOT here in Atlanta. The hot we're used to, the dry, however, did a number on the garden. Despite trying to keep everything watered as much as possible, it just doesn't compare to some good summer showers. Unfortunately, a few things either stopped producing or completely gave up the ghost. All is not lost, though.

Greetings my fellow plant enthusiasts! I hope you all are starting to celebrate some successes in your gardens, as we are looking forward to more good things coming our way here in Atlanta. Summer is just around the corner, though we've had a week of blessedly cool and comfortable days around here that have been perfect for getting out in the garden!

Hello all! I hope everyone is having a good start to the month of May. Things are starting to get warm and toasty here, which means the garden is finally taking off in a hurry! It never ceases to amaze me how quickly things turn around. All the patience finally gets rewarded!

While I can't say we have harsh, nor long, winters, springtime still is very welcome around here! I have yet to have any success growing anything into the winter, so spring usually marks the start of really getting back into gardening and growing our own. Things have still been busy, but we've got some good things going on around here.
