2018 Garden Planning Competition - Let's Grow The Steemit Gardening Community!
Hey Steemit gardeners - Spring is just around the corner (officially March 20th) and I know a lot of you are already dreaming of what you'll be planting...I know I am.
Then again, I live in San Diego, so my raised beds are currently pumping out greens right now ;)
Where was I? Oh, right...

2018 Garden Planning Competition
Due to the incredible generosity of @abh12345, I now have the coveted "vote slider" here on Steemit. And I've been talking with @goldendawne about how to best use it to grow the community that I most often interact with here - the gardeners.
We came up with a competition that ties in nicely with spring coming: a garden planning competition!
Here's What You Will Win:
- 3 SBD (2 from my personal stash and 1 from @beyondordinary)
- A full upvote on your next post from @goldendawne (currently worth $3.18)
- A full upvote on your next post from me (currently worth $0.18)
- A full upvote on your next post from @creativetruth (currently worth $3.48)
And that's saying nothing of the traction your post may get as a result of the increased visibility!
We're doing this to build stronger roots (pun intended) amongst the gardeners here.
How to Enter and Rules:
Write a post sharing your plan for your 2018 garden:
- What do you want to grow in 2018?
- What is your garden going to look like?
- What are you going to do differently this year?
Rules:
- Use the #gardencontest hashtag in your post so we can find you
- Deadline is Friday 8pm EST
- Winner will be announced over the weekend
- Have fun - use this to really think about how to get the most out of your garden this year!
Thanks For Reading!
If this is your first time reading my writing, thank you! Please leave a comment so I can get to know you better.
My name is Kevin and I run Epic Gardening, a website, podcast, and YouTube channel. My goal is to teach 10,000,000 people how to grow their own food.
I'm a big believer in Steemit and decentralized platforms, so I'm going all in on Steemit, dtube, and dsound. Be sure to check me out there too! You'll find me writing about gardening, travel, health, and philosophy - I can't seem to stick to one topic :P
Thanks and happy Steeming,
Kevin
You lost me when you rubbed in that you're growing greens already. Not cool dude. :-)
I am going to try my hardest to join in on this one! If not for the contest, to get my gears grinding for the upcoming growing season!
Congrats on the slider, too!
Oh, did I forget to mention I never stopped growing greens all winter? ;)
OK I'll stop rubbing it in hahaha. Happy to see you participate!
You, Sir... are a horrible fiend.
<3
LOVE this!!!
Come on everyone... it's time to plan out that garden... as if I need to remind you all!
SO APPRECIATE you helping out Golden!
You're VERY welcome!
well you don't seed to remind me :D :D
Ahhh good play on words!!! Why didn't I think of that one!
Great contest idea! I saw your post through the discord channel. @goldendawne posted it. Nice to "meet" you. I've been just sorting through some of my seeds today. Hopefully I'll have a plan together to share in time for the contest end date.
Woohoo! Looking forward to your entry and hello :)
Love this! I'll have to compile from my previous, and include what I'm working on now! Upvoted, resteemed & following
Excited to see your plans! I get so much inspiration from Steemit gardeners :)
Awesome contest! I'm totally down, but I have already posted most of my plans. I can condense what I've written already and add more details relevant to this competition. Is that ok?
Yup, totally! That's fine, I realize many have already posted :)
Whats the deadline?
It's in the post! 45m left.
~ Kevin
I just saw it posted today on discord. Sad! I have maps and all that. Would have been a good entry
Go for it!
Oh fun contest yay! :D
Excited to see your plans Huw! A master of your craft :)
I'd compete but it's probably a conflict of interest being your cousin and all :)
You're banned! ;)
Awww... let him in... he seems nice enough!
If he's in, I can't be a judge! I am happy to abdicate that responsibility to a more experienced competition hoster like you :)
Thanks for advocating for me! I'll let Kev do this one and maybe join the next if he finds a guest judge.
I’ll throw another SBD and upvote into the pot for the winner.
Edited you in! Thank you for being so generous!
I love the idea.
I’m a passionate gardener from Belgium, and since the season ends here in October, I’m actually half-hibernating. When the season ended I turned back to my other love, which is cryptocurrency. That’s how I ended up at SteemIt.
Now I’m combing SteemIt with a little bit of indoor gardening, but neither is a big success. ;-)
I do have a gardening blog in Dutch, but since there’s not a lot to tell about gardening during the winter months (except for making sowing calenders and garden plans, which I both think are boring) it’s a bit quite over there. For the same Reason, I haven’t found a way to start blogging about it here on SteemIt.
I feel like this post could be the one to turn that around. I can’t wait to start brainstorming... :-)
Belgium - nice! Happy to write more about indoor gardening as that's how I started as well. Looking forward to seeing your plans!
I managed to finish my post in time :-)
It wasn't easy, because today they delivered the huge heated propagator I ordered...
I guess I can play with tomorrow. I was glad I finally created another gardening post again. Felt better than doing crypto-posts :-)
Hey, I appreciate the crypto-posts too (fellow addict here). I'll take a look! I've gotten a few more Steemit gardeners to join the rewards pool for the contest so I'm hoping to distribute more SBD :)
