2 Years Already

This is the 24th edition of the Hive Community Garden Journal Challenge. Exactly 2 years ago, I launched the very first edition on the Steem blockchain. Never in my wildest dreams, I could have forseen I would still be doing this. But here we are!! 😁

Waiting Impatiently

May 15th is our last frost date, and we're almost there. I can hardly wait.
For now, my little plants are still in the greenhouse, but I can see they're impatient to go outside. My little sunflower seedlings are growing too big for their sowing pots, the yacon shoots really need to be planted. 2 more weeks, and the gardening season can start for real. Exciting times...

Meanwhile....

Welcome to the Hive Community Garden Journal Challenge, which encourages you to share your monthly (indoor) garden/balcony updates with your the community and create your own garden journal.

🏆 The Rewards

As always, all entry posts will receive an upvote from my personal account.

Since the move of all tokens from Steem to Hive isn't complete yet, I still don't really have a good idea about which tokens will make the switch. I hope things will be settles by the time I launch the next edition, so I can give you all a little extra reward.

I’ll reward the top 3 posts with a 10 Hive prize.

I will also choose 2 random participants who will each receive 2 Hive



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.

I missed your post mike and I miss interacting with it as well. Just not in the mood maybe because I was alone and can't go home. Anyway, I'm glad I encounter your post now. How are you, how's your back?

Hi @mrnightmare89

Thanks for dropping by.
Unfortunately, my back is still causing a lot of trouble. Have a doctor's appointment next week. Curious to hear what she has to say

I will eventually post an entry about our garden. It is not your ordinary average vegetable garden.

It is almost 12 acres, registered as a tree farm with the county tax office. That gives us a huge AG tax break. In the area of $1500.00 per year.

They are Loblolly Pines. A garbage tree in my opinion. Weak, bug magnets, that drop constant fire hazard needles and debris. And harvested for pulp wood at a pathetic average of a dollar a tree 15 years later.... Smfh https://www.coniferousforest.com/loblolly-pine.htm

I also planted 200+ cedar junips nearly 20 years ago. With only 1% loss. They are a property line, wind break, natural privacy fence. I have several black walnuts, 50% loss. And 8 maples that my father potted and sent down from Pennsylvania 1000 miles north of our farm in N. FLA. USA. They (maples/walnuts) have not done well in the sandy, insect ridden, nutrition starved soil.

My Wife @pooky-jax and I have a deck covered in plants, and My Fave of all are the 2 Cypress at the far end of our pond. Pond Full 201934.jpeg

I will sometime in the future enter one of your garden post contests with every intention of winning.... LoL..... Or at least getting a runner up spot.

Until then I send You my love and appreciation for what You have done for me in the past, You @simplymike @janton and @galenkp are the only reasons I am still here. And I am Soooo glad for that. As I really enjoy my time on here. And the quality people from all over I have met.
