🌺 SteemIt Community Garden Journal Challenge 4

August is here... This is your chance to show off your gardens, farms, balconies,..! Show us what you are growing, harvesting and which bugs or pests you are fighting.

Fall or Spring Is Knocking On Our doors

Depending on where you live in the world, the changing of the season is coming closer each day.

For some of you, this means harvesting is your main occupation - maybe you're even sowing or planting some winter crops - for others, making plans and deciding which crops to grow becomes more exciting every day.

This SteemIt Community Challenge allows you to share your monthly garden updates with your fellow Steemians.

This is already the fourth edition.

Last Time’s Contributors.

The third edition had quite a lot of entries. There were many fellow Steemians who allowed us to take a peek into their garden.

For that, I’d like to thank @thelaundrylady, @yogajill, @goldendawne, @goldenoakarm, @jamrubio, @wizardave, @lynncoyle1, @porters, @buckaroo and @abitcoinskeptic

But it's hard to believe there aren't more of you gardeners out there who are dying to show off your garden. If you haven’t joined before, feel free to start now. It’s never too late to show off the beauties you have in your garden/on your farm or balcony.

The Challenge

The rules of the challenge haven’t changed:

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

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 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 Upvotes

Both your entry posts as your entry comment will receive a 100% upvote from my account. With the price of Steem hitting rock bottom, that might not be such a huge amount, but it's better than nothing, right.

I'm also going to try to give every entry an extra reward, but since that will be an experiment, I'm not sure I will be able to pull it off - so I'm not going to reveal too much about that yet.

🏆 The Winners

Next to the upvotes on your posts and comments, I will also distribute two types of rewards.

I’ll reward the top 2 posts with a 3SBD prize.

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.

Prizes will be distributed once I get the winners post up.

Deadline

Prefrrably, I'd like to receive all entries before this post pays out in7 days, but entries will be accepted up until the day I post the winners post.
I can't really make any promises when that will be. If I have the time and energy, it will be up 7 days from now, but as you might have noticed during the last edition, it might take a little longer.

To be 100% sure your entry will be submitted in time, I suggest you stick to the 7-day period in which this post is still relevant.

Grab That Camera

If you haven’t already, grab that camera and shoot some amazing pics from your garden. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that is curious about how it has changed during this last month.

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.
