Time Flies

I can hardly believe it: July has almost ended. It feels like it was only yesterday since I bought my first seedlings (after which they died from an unknown pest).

My own garden looks better than I could have ever dreamed of when the season just started. I actually wanted to get a post up about it before I published this July-edition of the contest, but I'm running out of time if I want to get the challenge up before the end of the month.

I'll have to postpone my own post again, and save it for another day. (I have been doing so for three weeks now, lol. Since everything grows so fast at the moment, I always have to make new pictures every time I postpone my post.)

I'm pretty sure your crops or plants are growing at the same speed as mine, so I'm really curious to see your garden journal updates!

So, once again, I welcome you to the SteemIt Community Garden Journal Challenge, which encourages you to share your monthly (indoor) garden/balcony/homestead updates with your fellow Steemians and create your own garden journal.

Show us how your plants, herbs, flowers, succulents or vegetables are doing. Share what you’ve been doing in your garden, on your farm or on your balcony. Don't forget to 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 Rewards

All entry posts will receive a 100% upvote from my personal account.

As an extra reward, I'll be setting up a @steem-bounty in the comments section. Everyone who posts a comment that includes a link to a valid entry will get a small upvote from me and thus a share of that bounty when this post reaches payout.

🏆 The Winners

When this post reaches payout, I will select the two entries that I liked most.

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

Just like last month, I will also give out 4 SBI shares: 2 randomly chosen entries will get 2 SBI shares each!!


Prizes will be given out once I get the winners post up, which will be after this post has reached payout. Make sure you submit your entry before that time.

DISCLAIMER: I know I'm always late publishing the winners' announcement. This probably won't be different this time, since I'm leaving to spend some time In France during or right after next weekend. I'll be following up, though. You can be sure of that. I just don't know how easy or how hard it will be to get the post up using only my phone. I'll be sure to keep you up-to-date!

Just got back on Steem recently and sharing my plants again, hope you enjoy.

I've been away for a lot of July but will be getting my entry in - such a good initiative and lovely to have a record of your garden and see other gardens from around the world!

I normally take a few photos during the month just to see how things are going. I sometimes also notice in the zoomed in photos that I missed something on a plant so it’s always nice to have photos to compare. I hope you find some time to get your own post out.

My tomato plant might just take over my area if I leave it unchecked. Things have been growing like crazy and I’ve been enjoying eating some of it as well.

Have a great rest of the week I hope everyone’s garden is going great. I’ll be back later to check in on some times when I have time. Love to see what people been up to.

Lol, I had the same thing happen to me with one of the tomato plants: I was too busy taking pics that I had completely missed a giant tomato had started to grow. I only noticed on the pictures :0)

Ya, I found a rotten tomato last week. It was growing right in the middle sitting on a V of a branch.

Thank you for running this tag. So many amazing posts in this gardening community. Glad I found it.
