Fostering (Adopting) A Steemian Gardener

---

The other day I had mentioned in a post that I would be starting to foster a gardener as part of my Spreading the Stewards Of Gondor love.

---

Here is the original post introducing the initiative as well as some nominations made in the comments. There is still time to nominate yourself or another gardener. This will be an on-going list as each week I will be fostering a new gardener until the list is complete; which I don't want to have happen, so please make sure to keep the nominations going!

Fostering? How?

---

Just like my Embracing A Steemian that I do on Sunday, I will be working with, offering support (whether with post ideas, formatting questions, or whatever the gardener needs advice on). The fostered gardener will also receive 100% UPvotes from me throughout the week.

There will be some requirements of the nominee.

Qualifications for being FOSTERED:

---

* MUST post EVERY day for the week (Tuesday through the following Monday)- consistency is key

• While dedication and consistency are important- it has been brought to my attention that there are MANY members who are dedicated, but with spotty (rural) internet connections, band-width issues and various other legitimate concerns, posting every day may become an issue. So I have taken this into consideration for the "fostering" initiative challenge.
• One post you make a day will be UPvoted at 100% by me. **NOTE: Consideration that if you cannot post daily, I will still UPvote SEVEN quality posts. So if you post two quality posts one day but none the next two days, you will still get the guaranteed 100% UPvotes.
• MUST have less than 500SP (of their own, delegated SP does NOT count towards the 500)
• MUST have a minimum reputation of 35
• YOU MUST accept this challenge in my weekly Monday post if I have called upon you
• Topics MUST BE gardening, herbs, flowers, planting, greenhouse, etc (you get the picture here)
• You MUST have established the gardening topic(s) within your page already; where I can see the gardening posts are what you're writing about.
• You MUST BE available in Discord for some one-on-one tutoring or Q&A time.

Fostering a Gardener runs from Tuesday through the following Monday EVERY week.

PLEASE make sure TO ACCEPT this initiative and that you are available on Discord for one-on-one chats!

Once you have accepted this challenge and made a quality post, you will see this in the comment section indicating that I have fulfilled my end of the fostering.

---

You have been chosen to be my Fostered Gardener Of The Week Thanks to @fulltimegeek's delegation as a Steward of Gondor @goldendawne will be here for you to assist, guide and help you GROW- just like your garden- on steemit. Please accept this 100% Upvote for this post. You will receive a 100% Upvote for every post (up to seven per week) you make for the seven days CONGRATULATIONS on being a committed steemian!

---

When you are chosen to be fostered and your seven days' worth of 100% UPvotes ends, that doesn't mean the fostering stops. I will continue to chat in Discord with you for as long as needed. I will always make myself available to those I have fostered.

I also want to thank @borrowedearth, my first fostered steemian for all the chats on Discord and for the continuation of chats we'll have!
