Dear tree huggers, bonsai tenders, cactus queens & weed wranglers, it's time for another fortnightly challenge. It seems they've turned into a bit of a thing. I think I'm just avoiding doing the fortnightly curation as I can't live up to 
Hive account@minismallholding who does it so well. Once I get a silly idea in my head it's hard to hold back, and I do love how you all join in commenting and getting to know each other, and having a laugh. A little while ago 
Hive account@thebigsweed picked up on an accidental rhyme of mine, which made me compose a Hive Gardener's Poem which you may enjoy.
It'll be easier than the nude challenge I have planned next. Just kidding.
The challenge this week is to write another verse! There's so many gardeners I wanted to include but didn't - 
Hive account@umirais with her banana eating chickens, 
Hive account@afterglow's rice farming, 
Hive account@isdarmady's hydroponics, 
Hive account@sjarvie's agave (there's a rhyme right there), 
Hive account@artemislive's tropical Thailand jungle, 
Hive account@antnn or 
Hive account@samstonehill in France, 
Hive account@mers, 
Hive account@tydynrain, 
Hive account@senorcoconut, 
Hive account@sofs-su, 
Hive account@hindavi in Norway, 
Hive account@oniemaniego's permaculture garden - goodness, there's so many! If you're stuck have a look through the feed and I'm sure you'll find an avid gardener or two you can write about.
The Hive Gardener's Poem
@TheBigSweed's a beet man, it's his favourite tuber
For his love, @Farm-mom, it's flowers that move her
@Plantstoplanks, she's a squash girl - the curlier the better
Baked or stewed, with a good vegan cheddar
@Nikv's more prickly - it's succulents and cacti
And @Qwerrie, they say he's quite the fun-gi
@Nikolina's orchards are bearing beautiful fruits
In the spring, we're cheering when everything shoots
@Goldenoakfarm's bowls are full of beans
Her garden abundant with flowers and greens
@Proto26's a plantophile when he's at home
Pruning his bonsai or talking to a gnome
And 
Hive account@jonyoudyer? Give him weed or a good melon stash
@Edprivat's the gif man - his posts are quite fun
God help him, though, when his potatoes are done
@Luckylaica bears typhoons, flood water & cows
But her garden still provides - goodness knows how!
Us gardeners persevere - we can't go without.
In Australia it's 
Hive account@blingit planting oranges and lemons
Down south 
Hive account@riverflows finds herbs an obsession
Hive account@ligayagardener's wrangles microbes galore
Hive account@minismallholding's yard has chooks, chillis and more
Hive account@bengy's new place is taking shape
We all know the pain of hoe, spade, shovel, pickaxe and rake
