Three Steem-gardeners participated last week to THE GREENEST THUMB CHALLENGE #2 that ended yesterday.
See what they submitted!
Desperate potatoes from Aldi's in Wisconsin
@melinda010100 was one day about to cook some potatoes when she found out that they had sent out big sprouts. Those potatoes bought at the supermarket had a desperate desire to grow! Eventually she was able to plant them and harvest some potatoes. Most of all, to fulfill the dream of all those sprouts: grow and give fruit.
Enchanted pothos from Colorado
@phoenixwren joined with the pictures of Ayla, a Pothos that climbs all around her bedroom.
The plant shows not just a remarkable growth, but is also home of two resident fairies!
Not everyone lives in the countryside, and @phoenixwren shows us how you can be surrounded by green leaves even in the middle of the city.
Guerrilla squash from Canada
@venomnymous secretly planted squash seeds at his work, in a rock bed between the business and the street. The plant thrived and gave fruit! That's real Guerrilla Gardening! How great it would be if you could find veggies all along the streets: there could be Squash street, Tomato street...
In witness of your love for gardening, it is now my pleasure to proclaim...
...that the winner is...
All the three submissions are great and it is difficult to proclaim a winner. All three participants showed great love and care for plants, a tremendous amount of genius and all the skills needed to grow healthy plants and/or harvest food from them.
Next week there will be a second and third prize too. This week I have to select a first prize, and this is...
@venomnymous!
@venomnymous get the FIRST PRIZE again this week for showing an additional feature, beside skills, care and genius: the pioneer courage to grow plants where no one else had think before. In fact, he transformed what was a rock bed, in a fertile ground for a plant. A "desert" became a source of food - and this happened just along the street. What a great advertisement for gardening!
@venomnymous get 5 SBD and I also sent 2 SBD to @melinda010100 and @phoenixwren as a bonus for participating - I hope you will all join next week again!
...TIME FOR WEEK 3!
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a green thumb is:
the ability to make plants grow and be healthy
I can't wait to read new amazing stories of plants growing and see new GREENEST THUMB pictures. So, here are the rules for week 3 (as I'm learning how to host this contest, I try to improve the experience every week)!
Rules
- Post one or more pictures showing your ability to make plants grow and be healthy, between now and the post payout time (in 7 days)
- You can either post your picture in the comments below or write a post about it. If you write a post, tag it #greenestthumb so I can find it.
- I'll select a first-prize winner who will get 50% of the SBD generated by this post, the second and third runners-up will get 25% each.
- Upvote and resteem this post (most of the former participants already did last week and I thank you for that). This will help the challenge growing bigger and self-sustainable. Furthermore, it will make the prizes bigger!
