After some brainstorming with @mariannewest and @ecoinstant (thank you so much), I'm happy to invite you for the next gathering of Greenest Thumbs scheduled on Sunday, November 12th 2017.
As I wrote in the last post of the #greenestthumb challenge, what once was a traditional contest aimed to select one or more winners, will become a gathering corner where everyone will present her/his gardening stories and equally share the post payout.
Ideally, I'll be hosting a meeting of gardeners once a week. I'll be the host and the presenter/reviewer of every week's entries, just like I did until now. The only difference will be that I'll not announce winners, but I'll introduce the participants' stories and they will equally share the post payout.
What is #greenestthumb?
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a green thumb is:
the ability to make plants grow and be healthy
It is about gathering once a week and sharing our best stories, experiences and experiments on gardening.
Are you in the middle of reforestating what once was a coffee monoculture?
Have you found a method to double-grow green onions?
Have you secretly planted squash seeds in your workplace's rock bed?
Are you growing sub-tropical plants near the North Pole? :-)
Then, #greenestthumb is the place for you!
How to participate
Post one or more pictures explaining your ability to make plants grow and be healthy, before the gathering (scheduled next Sunday, on November 12th 2017).
You can either post your pictures in the comments below or write a post about it. If you write a post, tag it #greenestthumb and link it in the comments below, so everyone can find it.
Every participants will equally share the payout (in SBD) of this post and of the one where I'll review the entries.
The only requirement is the originality of your work: any picture and text that has been in part or in full copied will not be considered and will not share the payout.
By joining, you give me permission to use one of your pictures in the next post where I'll review the entries.
Good job! Thanks to @ecoinstant you have planted 0.13 tree to save Abongphen Highland Forest in Cameroon. Help me to plant 1,000,000 trees and share my Steem Power to the others. Selfvoting is prohibited, but that should be the reason to spread the world to protect our precious environment. Check out profile of our conservation association @kedjom-keku and the founder/coordinator @martin.mikes to get more information about our conservation program. My current SP is 14278.24. Help me to plant more trees with your delegated SP.
Thanks a lot,
your @treeplanter

Oh my pleasure - thanks for you wonderful efforts and persistence behind this! This and other very similar activities are what will save our world from a multitude of current problems.

I agree: growing your own food, planting trees, recycling, learning how to be more self-sufficient, are some of the activities with the greatest postive impact on the world. And to me all of these are the consequences of living the life that I want to live, instead of the one that many suppose I should be living!
Looking forward to reading the updates on your work in Colombia.

Oh do I feel that! Are you making any money yet? Such a question we may get from well-meaning people!
I too studied economics ;p am still one class away from a BS degree, but instead finished years later in sociology. This path has lead me to the work we do now, on the ground, looking for real solutions for sustainable development.
Blessings.

Yeahhhhhhh!!!! You made my morning!!!! :-)
Looking forward to reading what you have experimented this time.
I may join the #greenestthumb this week too with my own entry, as there is no more conflict of interests (I don't have no more to judge my own entry).

Yes!! that sounds good! I like the sharing idea so much better. And you can always set quality criteria

Have you something in mind, regarding quality criteria?

Minimum standards? Word or image count maybe.

More that it is original work and not a pic taking off a picture source. Maybe do something like Papa Pepper. To verify at least yourself or one picture with your steemit name in it. Something like that. As soon as money is involved, spammers come out to play. And best think about a clear way to prevent that before it happens.
I am not so much into a word count or picture count. everyone has different skills -or lack thereof and it could discourage genuine gardeners from participating if they have to "perform" at a certain level. Just no cheating :)

Here's is my first entry to #greenestthumb!
Native americans used to plant corn, beans, pumpkins together: they call these plants the three sisters as they are complementary.
I'm very satisfied of this experience!

Great initiative. I don't consider myself a green thumb but I enjoy growing succulents.

As long as you are able to make succulents grow and be healthy, you still match the definition that I wrote above ;-)
