It's been a while since I wrote the newsletter. There are multiple reasons, a good one being that all the best posts are often already well rewarded and seen, so it's not been necessary for me to highlight them. My biggest reason for doing this newsletter has always been to highlight and give beneficiaries as much as possible to the under rewarded authors. This is the joy of this community that it is filled with passionate gardeners who love to support one another.
Unfortunately this seems to have captured the attention of some who have been creating multiple accounts in order to try and farm what they seem to think is an automatic voting system we have here. There is no automatic voting, only those who have big hearts and try to support others out of good faith. Usually our brave leader @riverflows does the work of clearing these types of low quality posts out, but with her away it's fallen to me and as she was leaving we got a whole spate of these accounts starting up that other community moderators are also trying to deal with. So I've spent my time in the community trying to keep the feed as joyful as we have become accustomed to.
If you are new to the community, please consider the quality and value of what you are posting and I guarantee that you will be welcomed with open arms.
As a wonderful example of what some of our amazing community brings to Hive, I may as well start the highlights off with some wonderful anecdotes from @thebigsweed on animal antics at his homestead. This isn't actually in the Hive Garden community but is still a great example and is well rewarded, as you'd expect.
I loved this superb account from @aitommylr on starting their experiment of growing hydroponically. It's very small scale and not in a style that we've come to see more often of late. I can't wait to see updates on how the plants go.
I want to highlight this lovely little post from @damelysh on her mother-in-law's garden. I'm sorry it seems to have gotten missed. It looks like her mother-in-law loves her flowers.
I'm going to wrap up with a post from @fotostef which had my jaw dropping in amazement. It may not be gardening in the strictest sense, but it's plants nevertheless used in the making of these masterpieces. Can you guess what it is yet?
Beneficiaries go to @damelysh and @aitommylr
