Garden Party & Harvest

Challenge #11 in the Outside The Box series. Hosted by JamesWG.

Challenge has finished

Here in the northern hemisphere, many people plant vegetables or fruits in their garden. It might be a large backyard or a terracotta pot. Show me a picture of your garden (with something growing) or your early harvest of goodies. If you're in the southern hemisphere, most likely you're harvesting your summer crop.

Please Note: I made an error in the Capture Date Rule.
Any image made after May 2011 is eligible for this challenge.
If you have an image you want to enter and it was taken within the last year, it is allowed.

The rules preclude any shots taken after the start of submissions - was that your intention?

0 upvotes

No, that was my error, I wanted to give everyone an opportunity to submit images. Depending on climate and location, limiting photos to after the announcement did not seem fair. You can take photos until the submission closes..
I apologize for any confusion.

I live in an apartment and don't have any garden! Is any produce coming from any garden or farm acceptable?

Yes, but you should have some connection with the garden, gardener or produce. While you could go to the local farmer's market and purchase "produce", at least tell us that is what you did. I would rather see images showing the product of the garden and NOT produce that was prepared for sale in a large market.

Is tobacco consider "edible"?

Tobacco is not edible, therefore, not acceptable.
