Hey Permies,
We are excited to announce our 100 Days/100 Hours of
Gardening Challenge (#100days100hoursGardeningChallenge). In this forum, there's no need to try and convince you of my following boilerplate: Every year, growing some of your own food becomes more attractive. In 2020, the pandemic drove home-grown food to new recent highs. Although some new gardeners didn't continue in 2021 as we came out of pandemic lock downs, with the recent rise in gas prices and on-going supply chain issues, it would be a surprise if
gardening didn't surge again in 2022. But I wanted to share this with the forum, since lots of us are already getting plenty of time in the garden -- might as well be entered in a raffle.
We are challenging every gardener to spend one hundred hours in their garden in the first hundred days of their season. We'll be conducting this challenge primarily on Instagram, with profiles of participants, trends, and other topics also covered on our blog. In September, everyone who has participated in the challenge by posting at least semi-regularly over their hundred days will be entered in a raffle for prizes donated by sponsors.
It's easy: post pictures on instagram (or
facebook) with the hashtag #100days100hoursGardeningChallenge (
https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/100days100hourgardeningchallenge/) with pictures of your garden efforts. See full participation details and prizes here:

Thanks and happy growing,
Scott
P.S., We are still accepting prize partnerships from interested organizations and companies. Please be in touch if interested.
