This week feels like it's been quieter than usual on the posting front. Perhaps it's getting busy in the real world for homesteaders and gardeners. Whatever you're all doing, I hope you are fruitful!

Things happening in the community.

Well, Hive account@naturalmedicine certainly seems busy at the moment, so if the activity is low in your feed, perhaps see what they are up to. There is @musing, meditating, contest giveaways and much more.

Hive account@ecotrain has a new popup question and there is still a little time to get entries in for the abundance/waste challenge.

In regular contests, we have Hive account@wildhomesteading's weekly challenge for sharing how you've been gardening while working with nature.

Welcoming Newcomers

A new arrival at the beginning of this year was Hive account@sappergardener, who has posted again after a long break. I hope we continue to see more from them.

Some highlights of the week

First up Hive account@digitaldan teaches us a bit about leatherworking in this step by step on how he made a knife sheath.

Hive account@sagescrub have been adding spring flowers to their gardens. I never realised what an amazing choice of unusual flowers there are for adding some colours to the garden as it comes out of winter.

Hive account@byronmushrooms give some simple, yet effective tips on giving cuttings the best possible chances of rooting when placed directly in the ground.

From Hive account@jennimorrillo comes a sweet/salty dish of Creole Cheesecake. Now I just need to figure out what Creole cheese is.

Thank you for stopping by. This week's newsletter was brought to you by Hive account@minismallholding.
