You can tell when it's Garden Journal challenge time, with all the lovely garden tours we get. I still adore seeing what's growing in different parts of the world and admittedly getting envious at the same time. We have some beautiful posts to share with you this week.

Some highlights of the week

@borjan comes to us with a tale of a tree, in this photo story. I love the information that comes with this story, showing the insect life in the form of what we'd call pests and the two rounds of fruiting from the tree.



Someone else who has been experiencing a growing journey and takes into account the insect life along the way is @proto26, with his experience growing blue fingerling potatoes in a tub.

@galenkp has been implementing some modern gardening methods to grow some fruits and veggies in the form of above ground vegepods. He takes us through setting these up and setting up an irrigation system to go with them, in his typical entertaining way.



I think I'll finish up with a walk through @fanyokani's tropical garden, where there are bananas almost ready for harvesting and it's been growing like a jungle!
