Welcome back to another round up of gardening and homesteading posts. Looking through these categories has been a reminder for me that many of our gardeners are coming into that time of year where things won't be growing for a while. I hope it doesn't get too quiet here. If you think you are going to miss writing about your garden, perhaps the weekly creative challenge from Hive Garden will help to fill the gap.
Autumn is already well underway in the northern hemisphere and @cosmictriage's garden is apparently winding down, but in a very bountiful way by the look of it. There has been so much going on, lots of things to harvest and lessons on the importance of heirloom seed saving learnt.
It's a good thing we've got our southern hemisphere gardeners to keep the northern readers going through the winter months. Spring at @buckaroobaby's comes with a baby boom which is bound to brighten anyone's day.
Gardening can be quite the emotional cycle, as @fermentedphil quite clearly knows. From experiencing the joy and excitement of seeds sprouting, to the disappointment of finding them eaten then the hopes that some will survive and make it through despite these trials. As I read through his post I knew well what he was experiencing and how we grow and learn both practically and emotionally from those experiences.
Someone else who's been planting seeds is @afterglow. I'm looking forward to seeing how his adventures go with these seeds he been rescuing from various fruits. He seems pretty proud of his little bitter melon seedling too. I hope it grows well and brings him plenty of fruit.
