What’s going on in your (vegetable) garden at the moment? Show us your garden update or resteem this post and win!

SteemIt Community Garden Journal: Part 2
A little over a month ago I started the SteemIt Community Garden Journal Challenge.
In this post, I asked every gardener to share some pictures of how his or her garden looked at that moment.
The idea was to repeat this every month, and so create a real SteemIt Garden Journal, which would allow everyone to keep up with the progress in his garden.
In spite of the little delay, the original plan hasn’t changed.
Last time we could take a look into the gardens of @alaskahippie, @walkerland, @wizardave, @ginnyannette, @thelaundrylady, @goldenoakfarm, @a1-shroom-spores, @lynncoyle1, @mhm-philippines, @riverflows and @elsiekjay.
Will you join them?
(Sorry for the name-tagging. Since I've been away for a while I thought I'd let you know about the second edition of this challenge, considering the delay.)

Who Can Enter?
It’s very simple: everyone can enter. Whether you have an indoor garden, a flower garden, a farm, a balcony or kitchen garden, an aquaponics garden,... As long as you are growing something, you’re invited to join.

The Challenge

Click to enlarge
You can include whatever you want in your post, but please remember that the pictures should be the most important aspect of your post.
.jpg)
Show us how your plants, herbs or vegetables are doing. Share what you’ve been doing in your garden. Let us know if you are dealing with things like fungus, caterpillars, aphids, and - even more important - hów you’re dealing with those.
In short, tell us the story of your garden.

🏆The Rewards
I’ll reward all valid entries with a decent upvote. (I’ll be using a bot for this.)
Also, I’ll reward the top 2 posts with a @steembasicincome share
I’ll also give away a @steembasicincome share to 2 randomly chosen resteemers.
A membership of @steembasicincome will basically give you 1 share in the initiative, which will give you a small upvote on all your posts. The more shares you get, the more this upvote will be worth. You can read more about the @Steembasicincome initiative here.

Get Started
Prizes will be paid out once this post has reached payout.
This means you’ve got 7 days to get your entry up.
Grab that camera and go out to visit your garden. I’m very curious to see how it has grown.

I hope you will see the benefits of this ‘challenge’, and help me build a community of garden lovers, which will grow together and help each other out when needed.

Ready, Set, Go!
Show me how your garden or balcony looks like at the moment. I bet you’ll be surprised how much it will have changed when you post new pictures a month from now.

I've been dreading this day...I knew you would remember this 'challenge'; every time I went on my balcony to see my dying plants, I thought, geez, I'm going to have to take pictures of this graveyard soon and show the world my lack of a green thumb :) The weather is so hot here, so I've killed one hydrangea, one green vine, one little miniature tree, but my hibiscus looks great, and so does a little rubber tree I bought that needs watering once a week :)
The upside...Buddy is loving his new lounge chair :)

Rule number one: always turn things so you are not responsible for any negative things happening: you didn’t kill the plants, the weather did. ;0P
I love the armchair, and it’s such a typical cat-thing: the way Buddy sits in it, obviously saying: “Do not mistake, this one is mine!”
When I first read your comment, I actually thought you meant a tree made out of rubber, then questioned for a sec why you would have to water a tree made out of rubber. Sigh... I can be so slow sometimes, lol

Thanks, @mamajeanie. I simply love your garden. And the ‘que sera, sera’ attitude.
I’m trying to learn myself to have the same attitude. Last year, when my 3 precious cucamelon plants were sick, I was litterally crying while I was cutting out the infected leaves, and eventually had to remove the plants. It was the first time I had them in my garden, and I saw them grow from seed in one of the most beautiful plants. I worked so hard and took care of them like babies, and then they just died on me. Fortunately, I had planted 3 more of them outside instead of in the greenhouse. We ate cucamelons all summer long :0)
But I promised myself: no more.
No more emotional attachment to plants. Que sera, sera - and I’ve learned a lot from it. Lol.
Thanks for showing me your garden. I really enjoyed it.
Now I’m curious how your veggies will thrive in those extreme weather conditions. Can’t wait to see your next update!

Thanks, @simplymike. I've got flowers on the melons, squash and cucumber plants...whether or not they'll produce from there is another story. Where most people get so many zucchini and squash they can't give them away, I have yet to harvest a fruit over 4" long...and that was once! In order to excuse the foolhardiness of my continued insistence at spending hundreds of dollars for the challenge, every single year, I declare it a a mental health necessity, rather than food for survival. ;)

Glad you like the name ;P I found this platform due to my interest in cryptocurrency. I am skeptical when it comes to at least 90% of these coins. Most don't have any use asides from experimental or hustling money from investors. I like STEEM because it actually has a use.
I wrote about my garden here when it was just planted. I will update very soon because now I'm pulling vegetables from it and in the process of making some things with the produce. Now the place looks very different.

Don't really have any garden pictures to share at the moment, but I thought I'd find out how the surgery went and how things are going with the recovery now that you've been in it for a while. Are you still using your phone for Steemit, or did you get on the laptop with the stand you bought? Or have things improved enough that you can actually sit rather than be lying down all of the time? Okay, probably not that last one, given what you've been told before, but I can hope, right?
Hope all is improving and that you are on the mend this time. :)

Hey @glenalbrethsen
Thanks for asking :0)
Still on the phone, unfortunately. Only the layout for the posts is being done on the tablet.
But I can feel laptop-day coming closer, lol. I would probably already be using it if I wasn’t so scared of pushing myself harder than I should. I made a deal with myself to take everything super-slow this time. No third surgery for me this year, if I can do anything to avoid it.
So it’s still: lying - walking - lying - walking... I get so discouraged sometimes, I’m so sick of it. (I really hate walking, btw. I’m too lazy for it and it is sooo boring. I hated it even as a kid, ... lol, I guess this is payback time for all the times I refused to walk somewhere.)
On the bright side: I just had a couple of pain-free days; for the first time in like 18 months or so, so I’m doing my best to stay positive and don’t make too much drama. Many people are off way worse than me. (It’s a thought I try to hold, but it doesn’t work 100% of the time, to be honest)
Gosh, I keep on rambling about myself again, not even asking how you are. Shame, shame. Bad manners seem to be turning into a habit lately ;0)

I'm doing well. No surgeries of any kind, though I probably could stand to go walk. Like you, I find it pretty boring. Seldom do I find anything on the other end of the walk worth going for, like over to the park, or even over to the mailboxes. Anyway, we don't need to justify our dislike of walking, not if it's helping you HAVE PAIN FREE DAYS!! That's great!
I do have to say, though, life has a weird way of making us do things we're not fond of. A lot. Not sure what life's problem is, but if karma works on life like it does on the rest of us, it's about due a comeuppance of epic proportions. :)
Wow. Tablet layouts. All right. Well, keep it up, even when you don't want to, do it anyway, and do it for future you even if present you is royally sick of it. When future you is present you, you will thank yourself for it. :)

Thanks, @insideoutlet. I should visit the channel more often, I didn’t even know you guys had a contest room.
But I guess I don’t have to bite off more than I can chew for now. It’s still an effort to try to keep up with SteemIt, Discord will have to wait a little longer.
The ficus event... now that’s a post I won’t forget very easily,lol. I can’t even begin to imagine what the real experience must have been like ;0)

I can imagine it is something that makes you nervous.
But I guess if you follow your heart, it will all be okay.
Enjoy!!

A great idea, and great photographs! I love the filmstrip one! Did you use a plugin to create it, or did you make it from scratch? It is very effective!

Oh well. I had made images like that years ago using Photoshop and a plug-in, but can't remember now how I did it. I had hoped you might be able to help, but I will need to Google it! LOL!

Oh this is good contest because I'm coffee farmer
I'm late to get information about this cotest?
I'm also often to review the blog who focus in gardening, sustainable/organic farming and permaculture.
If you like coffee you can check on my blog. Thank you

Thanks, @gayocoffeefarm.
I’ve taken a peek at your blog. You seem to be very passionate a out coffee. I always like it when people are passionate about something.
You can still join the challenge, if you want to. It’s open until the post has reached payout.

I resteemed it, just have not been able to get to gardening, We went to the greenhouse just today, and got a few Pansies, and a tomato, and some red leaf lettuce, and a few others plants/flowers, but it is just the beginning of planting for us, well a week ago was the actual beginning.

Thanks, @bashadow.
You’ve got to start somewhere :0)
When I posted the first edition of this contest back in April, there wasn’t a lot going on in my own garden either.
I love taking pictures of my garden, starting with pics of the empty beds. When I later compare those with the ones I take a couple of weeks later, it gives me such a feeling of accomplishment :0)

I resteemed the post. That way I'll see it on my page and remember to send you the link to my next garden update. It's been a few days since I did a post on the full garden.

Thanks for joining, @pretty.dorky.
Some great pics you’ve got there.
This green girl is still watching from a distance while the girlfriend takes care of the garden 🙄
I’ll have her to be a green girl too by the end of this season, I guess, lol.
Little bit frustrating not to be able to do a lot; the garden looks like a big mess. Lots of veggies growing, but even more weeds. (Can’t get her to remove those, so I’ll just have to learn to live with it).
Fortunately, once they are in the ground, the veggies do most of the work themselves :0)

@pretty.dorky, using a bot to give you the promised upvote on this comment didn’t work out like I planned.
Since I’ve been out with a migraine these last two days, I can’t upvote this comment manually anymore. I’ll choose two of your other comments to upvote, so you’ll get the same reward as the others.

Ugh I’m sorry to hear you’ve had migraines! No bueno. Hope you’re feeling better now. I empathize greatly with you not being able to care for your garden this year. I know it must be frustrating. If I could, I’d pull allllllll the weeds!! It’s one of my favorite things to do! So satisfying... like I’m saving the alliance from the rebellion or something. 😛
Thanks for the payout... I’m not worried about it. Whatever works. 😉

Will recharge VP before I do another.
I completely agree about púlling weeds. It gives me the same feeling of satisfaction. 😜

Thx @simplymike! And thank you for your continued delegation! Without it I’d be dust. I feel like I haven’t made much progress in my own SP. If you need it back for someone else, I’ll understand. 😀 I’ll cry, but understand 😆
