Being outside and enjoying the beautiful plants and flowers that are about is definitely something that's keeping me going at the moment, so I thought it might be nice to grow our own garden here where we can all enjoy it.
Please add any pictures, links, chats about anything you're enjoying in your garden, have found on a walk, wish you had in your garden etc. Or just enjoy wandering around 🙂

Hi @Faith-and-Hope ,
Thank you for your life insight, I'm glad that you can paint your garden. My not creative with pen and paper but I'm finding that I'm creative with gardening. I never thought I'd be that interested but I'm loving it.

Hey,
So our gardening is pretty full on at the moment. My partner has a veggie seedlings garden going with about 8 different things, I just finished doing a 3m x 1m garden bed out the front to match the other one. It's got wooden pine edging with cypress red mulch, made up of a cordyline, two legend plants and a yakka.
It's hot and hard work in the sun.

Hi @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope
So I've found an awesome app for gardening. It's called garden tags. It's like Instagram but for gardeners. Follow people, tips about your garden and plants. Like posts and meet like minded people.

I love Gardening so much, but it is 36 degrees here and so humid, the sweat just pours off me even just walking to the car!
