OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 210th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

About 4 months ago, we decided to plant a lot of Bee and Insect Friendly Plants on our balcony. Therefore we choose 6 different plants to use, which are the Goldsturm (Rudbeckia sullivantii), Common Yarrow (Achillea Millefolium), Bulley's Primrose (Primula x Bullesiana), Stonecrop (Sedum Spectabile), Blue Flax (Linum Perenne) and the Purple Coneflower (Echinacea Purpurea). They all grew a lot during this time, we lost 1 of them and had to save 2 others, but one of these plants flourishes especially good, without any problems, and now even attracts bees like no other of our balcony plants, the Stonecrop (Sedum Spectabile).

Really happy to find the time to write my garden journal for September, it's been a very busy few last weeks, and I am surely looking forward for winter, to take it slow, except in the greenhouse of course.

Lots of hivers complained about the weather, and I have to admit that some of my crops didn't do so well. I barely managed to grow cucumber, my carrots are late, and lots of crops got attacked by birds and Asian hornets.

Peru and Venezuela will face each other in this eighth date of the qualifiers for Qatar 2022, two teams that urgently need to win, where even a draw would be a failure, the need to add three points, leads them to show a very offensive soccer this coming Sunday at the National Stadium in Lima, a very difficult field, where in the last visit the national team let the victory slip away after winning comfortably in the score 2x0, ending the match in a bitter two-goal draw.

I recently started writing in this community and I thank the people who read and comment because I receive every word and I value them very much.I am taking this space to vent a little of my anguish and life situations, because sometimes I feel that my strength is gone, but I do not want to fall back into depression.

How are you my dear friends? I think you are doing well in this difficult time. These days many people who're living in my state staying their home due to the quarantine curfew. Two weeks ago our government imposed curfew condition to whole island. So our interesting activities missed without going outside. But every single day I'm going to my work place. So today I had chance to walk among beautiful rural area.

Today I bought a Jurassic Eggs for my son. I had been hearing about them for a long time and wanted to give one to my son. Here is a photo of the package, which contains an 'egg'.

For those of you not familiar with this type of mug, you open the lid by pressing on the bit that sticking up from the hand, and which is called the thumblift. When you press it, the lid lifts up and you get access to your delicious brew. You have to be careful not to get your knuckles rapped because this thing snaps back like it means business.

Autumn in our city began strictly according to the calendar. This is the first time. It was very warm on the last day of August. And suddenly a sharp cold snap on September 1. Moreover, it was cloudy for 2 days and it rained. And suddenly on September 3, that is, the day before yesterday, from early morning, amazing sunny weather.

I have lots of photos of Matti especially when he was still smaller, chubbier too at that time. Today, he had lost some of those baby fats and started gaining more muscle as he is taller and more active. But thanks to photographs, we can freeze moments, keep them in digital form or print them for tangible memoirs.

I considered leaving it B&W but today I felt some coloring was required. I'm into a purple phase so I went for a mix of aura colors. Below, you'll find some photos from the process.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
