December

It's hard to believe it is December already. When I started back in April, I could have never imagined that I would still be hosting this monthly challenge. But here we are: this is the last edition of the SteemIt Community Garden Journal Challenge 2018.

And I don't plan to give up. As long as there are enthusiastic gardeners out there who are willing to share their gardening adventures with us, I see no reason to put an end to this fun experience.

Winter has kicked in here in Belgium, so there's not a lot going on in my garden. I plan to start sowing indoor in a week or 2, though. But for those of you who live on the other side of the equator, it is mid-season, and you're probably already enjoying the fruits of your hard labor.

Once again, this SteemIt Community Garden Journal Challenge allows you to share your monthly (indoor) garden/balcony updates with your fellow Steemians.

This is edition number 8 already.

A Shoutout To Our Previous Contributors.

We've had different gardeners joining this challenge in every edition. The participants' base follows the seasons in the different parts of the world. Last edition, we could enjoy the garden updates of

Hive account@frejafri, Hive account@riverflows, Hive account@porters, Hive account@abitcoinskeptic, Hive account@stever82, Hive account@n1hal, Hive account@phoenixwren, Hive account@celinavisaez and Hive account@skramatters.

I’d like to thank them all for entering this challenge, and I'd like to invite them to post a new update.

(Unfortunately, Hive account@bengy didn't get his flower bulbs into the ground before December, so we'll have to wait another year to be able to enjoy his gardening journal) 😉

This challenge is open for everyone who is growing plants or crops - indoors or outdoors.

If you haven’t joined before, feel free to start now. The more the merrier! There are plenty of people who are enjoying to see what's going on in other people's garden, farm or balcony.

The Challenge

The assignment is the same as always:

Please also include a link back to this challenge somewhere in your post.

You can include whatever you want in your post, but please remember that the pictures should be the most important aspect of your post.

Show us how your plants, herbs, flowers, succulents or vegetables are doing. Share what you’ve been doing in your garden, on your farm or on your balcony. Don't forget to 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

As always, all entry posts will receive a 100% upvote from my personal account. Unbelievable, but true: the price of Steem has again dropped, so the upvote will be even smaller than before. But don't forget: when the price of Steem will go up, so will the value of that upvote.

As an extra reward, I'll be setting up a Hive account@steem-bounty in the comments section. Everyone who posts a comment that includes a link to a valid entry will get a share of that bounty.

🏆 The Winners

Since we are being paid out in Steem instead of SBD, my supply is too small to pay out the prizes in SBD. Instead, the prizes will be payed out in Steem.

I’ll reward the top 2 posts with a 6 Steem prize. (Instead of 3SBD in the previous editions)

I’ll also reward 2 randomly chosen resteemers with an Hive account@incinboost share.

If you haven't heard of Hive account@incinboost yet, you can read this post.
Basically, you can compare the system with SteemBasicIncome. The big difference is that you get back more for what you put in. In short: it's more profitable and shares are processed faster.

Prizes will be given out once I get the winners post up, which will be after this post has reached payout. Make sure you submit your entry before that time.

Grab That Camera

Are you still reading? What are you waiting for? Grab that camera and go make some awesome pics of your (indoor) garden, your balcony or wherever you are growing your plants, herbs or crops.

Show us, people in the northern hemisphere, the beautiful greenery we are missing so much during winter.
