My First Contest: Garden Dreams

And I am making it a topic that I absolutely love! Gardening!

Share you downfalls, fails and triumphs.

Have a tried and true compost recipe? Have a new greenhouse you're moving plants into this winter? Have a some gardening hacks you find valuable? Do you make essential oils, infused oils or emulsions from your herbs? Maybe you built your own raised container beds?
Organic... hydroponic... aquaponic... permaculture... I want them all!

Yay!!!! @acidyo dropped some love!! He is doing a live twitch stream... And I may have mentioned some green tomato chocolate cake I was eating!!!! He saw your contest and decided to 'blo it up' ;-D
So cool!!
The cake tastes mostly just like chocolate cake. Dont really notice the tomato. Now what to do with the other 50lbs of green tomatoes?
How about this recipe. It looks so good to me. I want to make it, but have no green tomatoes :( https://steemit.com/homesteading/@jkiw/chutney-with-green-tomatoes-onions-and-apples-chutney-aus-gruenen-tomaten-zwiebeln-und-aepfeln
I have never made a chutney before but this one seems simple enough for a beginner!
thank you @mariannewest
You are welcome :) It looks good, doesn't it...
Awesome!!! @acidyo
Can't even tell green maters are in there... told you!
50lbs??? Wholly &#$!... Wish I could help you
Hi @goldendawne, I've got my entry all made up! Enjoy! https://steemit.com/homesteading/@tanglebranch/garden-dreams-activate
Got it!!
Contest sounds good! My husband is more of the gardener in our household than me, at least when it comes to dreams and plans and ideas! I just do the grunt work, haha, but we'll see what we might come up with!
Would love to join the rest of the homesteaders on Slack, but it tells me I need an administrator to add me? Can you point me in the direction of who that might be? Thanks!
Get in touch with @greenacrehome or @pennsif
Looking forward to your entry
Thanks for the mention @goldendawne
You're welcome.

Thanks so much!
Sigh don't you just love compiling a comprehensive long comment or post and then it doesn't post. Let me try again. Firstly nice pic and good work @goldendawne I like. May I post one of my previous aquaponics links in comments here as an entry or do I need to compile a whole new blog and tag garden dream? Cheer$:)
So true! I have been having that issue, as well as many others, on steemit lately- FRUSTRATING!!
No, you can post it here. I will accept it.
Just please UPvote and share this post for others! thank you!!
