in Hive Power2 years ago

Silly me, I know yesterday was 30th April as I had something on, but it didn't occur to me that today is 1st May, somehow the two never connected. Must be a sign of getting old 😃

In April I have been a bit more active with 12 posts, though nowhere near those who took part in the #hiveblopomo organised by @traciyork. I don't know how they all manage it, so kudos to everyone. During the month, my account grew by around 1000HP (I think) and currently stands at 73704 HP. I am still lurking outside the top 200 HP door, but that's fine with me. I'm here for the long term, not a race.

MAY HPUD GUESSING CONTEST

This month I'm going to continue with a gardening theme as I forgot to prepare for the contest I want to showcase my little garden as much as possible. These tomato seedlings have grown a lot in the past month and have outgrown their pots already. I repotted a batch yesterday, and will repot these next week. This month's HPUD Guessing Contest is

How many plants are in the image below?

And here is your tip for the month. Hopefully it won't strain your eyesight too much! Drop your answer as a comment below, and as always, active engagement will get an upvote from me, or maybe even from a whale!!!
20220501_121424.jpg

The prize pool is 10 HBD and the person who guesses the correct answer will win this. If there are multiple winners, they will share the 10 HBD. And, if you took part in the HPUD today I will double your prize if you win!!!

The contest will end in 7 days time. Have fun and I look forward to seeing all of your entries.

hahaha ok I saw this reblogged by @fionasfavourites and as I've just dropped my own contest post, I thought what the hey, right? and then I counted the tomato seedlings...which might I add are looking a bit better and more !ALIVE than mine - my let's call them normal tomato seedlings are doing ok, BUT I bought a box of these exotic type seeds off Amazon too (just for fun!!!) ...and ...well they just don't even resemble tomato seedlings 😂 - like they look more like pepper seedlings.... hmmm... maybe I got conned or maybe they truly are exotic...but they have thin weaker stems and the leaves... nah I think it's just weird🙄🤣 - so anyway back to your seedlings... and I think you have 17! Which would be quite crazy because 17 is my favourite number; no jokes !LOLZ ... and can you believe it that I had my head on the idea that today was May day (Labour day) which it is... and therefore forgot completely that Sunday was the 1st of the month.... boo hoo I didn't do my HPUD. First time since I started doing it that I have missed it I think... oh well back on the HPUD horse next month so to speak... tears ...spilled milk...not worth it hehe. Have a great bank holiday Monday @livinguktaiwan 😎

Thank you for reminding me to come back with my entry!

@livinguktaiwan! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @samsmith1971. (7/10)

The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.

So did you buy pepper seedlings or pepper like tomato seedlings? I may have seen the latter on internet, they're like wavy pepper shape right? Maybe they're late developers? 🤔

If 17 is your favourite number, let's hope it's your lucky number as well! Good luck.

Thanks for dropping by Sam, it's been lovely seeing you here and having so much fun with everyone!!

!LOLZ I did plant some 'normal' tomato seeds but I also bought some of those plant theatre ones off Amazon, and the seedlings are wacky!!! The leaves don't look like tomato leaves... so we are going to just have to see because they are not very hardy...still indoors...

I think my plants were rubbing off on me... and I was in a wacky mood myself hehe... but I do enjoy the engagement! !ALIVE

Let me see if I can repeat my lucky win from the last round :D I can see most people say 17 and it does look like 17 but my guess is that there is one extra little plant hidden behind one of the visible ones so my final answer is 18. Thanks for hosting this fun contest Pauline!

Noooooo... this month @livinguktaiwan has decided to show exactly how many tomato plants are around hahaha...so I think 17 may be the correct answer... (🤫shhhh...just play along Pauline hehe)... !PIZZA

Ha ha!! You may or may not be right 😉

ROTFL... here for the fun, not the win hehe... but I may be right, right? 😎 or I may be wrong, right? But either way... it's fun! 😂

Dare to be different, I will plump for 19!
Congrats on your stats, and I am sure you could zip back into the top 200 if you really wanted to!

Ed, you can't count tomato plants off camera! 🤣😍🤣😍🤣

Maybe they are hidden in plain sight Sam, but I don't like to follow a crowd🤣

😂😂😂 love it!!! I hope you win hehe

hehe oh I doubt it, but always fun to be different I think Sam!

Maybe better to hoover outside the door, give me something to look forward to one day 😀

Maybe better to hoover outside the door

haha what a cute saying, I have never heard that before!
So yeah gives a wonderful surprise again:)

My considered (hahaha!) guess is 17... Happy Sunday...ahem...Monday!

Thanks so much for your entry Fiona, and apologies it's Wednesday by the time I got round to reply 😄

Hello! Many congrats on your account growth!
You have a lot of tomato plants, I only have two. I hope you get a nice harvest.
My guess for the contest is 19
Have a happy new month and week 😊

Last year my tomato turned from green to black , really odd, hopefully this year will be much better

Oh, I'm sorry. I had problems with the first tomato plant I had. I'm on my second attempt, and I've already got a few tomatoes. Good luck with yours:) 🍅🍅

Nice Coqui❣️ I need to get my tomatoes outside...I think we are safe now that we are in May! I had to do a second batch of seedlings too...and I think I may try squeeze in a 3rd batch but I will need to stick them under lights to get them growing quicker. !ALIVE

Here we don't have drastic weather changes, but these days it's very hot, and I have to water the tomato plants frequently. But more tomatoes are on the way after the first ones I harvested a couple of weeks ago :) 😊😄
!PIZZA

Nice!!! Yeah they are thirsty little things hehe. I am far away from a first harvest!!! So very very far 🙄🤣

Hehe!!! well, good luck and when you least expect it, you will have that first harvest. 😊🍅

Just edited - everybody guesses 17 so as I know you this seems to be too easy!

I say: 18 - eighteen plants in the pots :-)

And you will get 476 Tomatoes out of them ;-) !LOL
Hope youre doing fine :-)

haha I challenge @livinguktaiwan to count up the tomato harvest this year and come back and compare to your guesstimate at the end of the season... let's see how close our beebs gets ❣️ That would be a pretty decent harvest !LUV !ALIVE

Or maybe that will be my HPUD Guessing Contest in the future months to come 😉

Yeah that's a smart move. She does typically throw a trick or two in there. Or maybe she is going for the obvious, knowing that people will cast doubt on their own decision and change their guess... what to do, what to do?

Good luck!

Shhhhhhhh...😄

People are gonna get psyched out here ... reverse psychology at its best!

I will be very happy if I get 76!!! But I hope yout or predictions are correct😉

Seriously, the way mine are going, I'll be happy if they are actually tomato plants🤣

Good growth! 👍
I recon 17 plants, cause that's all I can see. Where are you planning on growing them? You are in the flat right?

I got some outdoor space but it's concrete and facing north so doesn't have much sun. I'll be keeping a few only as I'm babysitting them for my sister, and I'll take them outside in a few weeks time when it's warmer and see if they grow. If not I'll have to keep them indoors and hijack hubby's study as that's the only south facing room

Hello friend, great planting of tomatoes, I think you will have to give a few away when you harvest. I believe that only in those pots you have 17 tomato plants that are very well under way. A big hello.

I will have to give away a lot as this is just half of my seedlings!

Thanks for dropping by @isabelpena and good luck!

Thanks to you dear friend.

I’m going to buck the trend of 17 and say there are 12 here 😃

🤔 haha !LOLZ

A very brave guess! Might as well go for it, all or nothing 👍👍👍

Hello! i love how gardening enthusiast manage to keep their plants alive... All 16 of them?! wild guess as I have zero idea of how tomato plants work xD

16 is a great guess @mechis85 ... I mean... I'm not saying it's the right guess... (cos I'm sticking with 17 haha) but it is a great one nevertheless😂😍😂... and as for how tomato plants work? hmmm... I think that answer is 42 ♥️ !PIZZA

LOL, I meant grow, no idea why I texted work 😆 but yeah, I like 42

I don't have a very good track with plants so figured I should show them off before they die ☺️

🤣😂🤣

Feliz y bendecida noche, por aquí me entrada: 17 plántulas ( Plantas), un cálido abrazo de luz, bendiciones.

Que hermoso comentario. Y sí, creo que tienes razón jaja. 17 plántulas. Te deseo una bendita semana por delante. !LADY !PIZZA

You have already used the number of tips you had for the day. Please try again tomorrow or buy more LOH tokens to send more tips.

Gracias por tu entrada y buena suerte con tu suposición

Always a tricky, but fun guessing game. My guess is 17 plants.

Great to see you here again! Appreciate it!

I almost missed this! Somehow this didn't show up on "My Friends" feed as I went through them the past couple of days. But first off, congrats on your 12 posts which is more than what I did last month. Hopefully I can make up this month. Secondly, congrats on 73.7K HP. Slowly but surely always wins the day. Thirdly, I would say 17 plants all in all. I like how they are standing straight unlike what we planted that are all over the place growing up 😂

Have a great day!

Hi there Ruel, so glad you turned up.

Maybe my tomato plants are still very young? I hope they will grow nice and tall and bear me lots of fruit!!

I think I must have counted about a dozen times and can only see 17, maybe there's 1 or 2 hidden, but that's all my eyes keep on seeing and I think I can still count at my age ;)
Only saw this now as I keep on getting interrupted by guests or enquiries with weird questions! The other day a guest had booked online for 1, but on arrival, my eyes counted 2 guests. His response was, yes, he did book for 1...but it's for 1 couple!!! GRRRR!!!
Your account is growing amazingly well, I've had to power down because of RL issues, but did power up some as I'm here to stay. Someone will likely find me with my head on the keyboard when my day comes, LOL! Hooked on Hive am I!

Next you know, your guests will turn up with his wife and two kids and said he booked for 1...... family 😄

It's great that Hive earnings can help you in times of need Lizzie. I can imagine things being difficult after the recent natural disasters, hope all gets back on track very❤️

LOL, that's a good one! I would not put it past some guest. I was so flabbergasted that day that I actually burst out laughing, that comment just took the cake! I told him there's an extra fee as we charge per guest - NOT couple! Hubby came along and then tells the 1 couple not to worry about the extra fee! He wasn't in my good books and was lucky it was our small unit and only 2 nights, otherwise he would have had the cold shoulder for more than just 1 night😠
I've been able to stop my powerdown as the bookings are flooding in. Our son's move actually was a bigger drain...but that's what Moms & Dads do😉

I also love planting tomatoes in my garden too, every year. @livinguktaiwan And this is my first time here guessing. Well, I think there are 17 plants in there.

Always good to see new people joining my little contest! Welcome and good luck!

Thanks you very much. Its actually a privilege

joining the club of those who said 17 :D

I see that our numbers are aligned again today. That's a good sign 👌

Unfortunately it also seems to be a very popular number 😂

I see that our numbers are aligned again today. That's a good sign 👌

Absolutely, that is a great sign! But yes, as you say, very popular among almost everyone 😂

Those that were bold and adventured themselves to try with another number... maybe they will have the correct answer?

We will see, anyway, this is so much fun :))

Lots of fun... glad I stumbled across this little contest. Who knew tomato plants could be so engaging hehe !ALIVE

Hi @mipiano 👋🏻 Welcome to the club 😉

Maybe we would like to be hahahaha 🤣🤣🤩 or not if I think about it.

well, why not 😀

Hhhmmmm yes, now you make it sound attractive again. 😁

Ok, yes why not 🤣😎💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

The exclusive and premier club ... Or not. All will be reveakedy in a few days time

I'm going to go ahead and guess 17 tomato plants. 🍅

You may or may not fall in the trap which I may or may not have set 😄

Happy May and congratulations to your account growth! It's growing steadily.

I would say there are 18 tomato seedlings in there🌞

Happy Hive pud day! Don't worry, you're not the only one who somehow didn't connect that Afteer 30th April comes 1st of May. I was actually surprised when I realized that this morning upon waking up. 😜

Wild guess on the tomato plants is 16.

Join the club 😄 Maybe we need a new type of calendar to remind us!!

Looks like 17 to me!

17 plants…

My tomato seedling expert opinion is there are 17.

oooh... we have an expert in the house... awesome... so QQ if I may... are exotic tomato seedlings supposed to look like pepper seedlings? !LOLZ (asking for a friend 🙄😂) ... although I get that your comment is probably more tongue in cheek hehe !PIZZA

I have no idea how exotic tomato seedlings look like as I've never had any, but tomato seedlings should look like tomato seedlings and not pepper seedlings.

😂🙌 well that is exactly what I thought! And that is a great expert opinion!!! Thank you... (takes notes... tomato seedlings should look like tomato seedlings and not pepper seedlings). Something tells me that my plant theatre seedlings have a lot of answering to do!!! Thanks for the engagement @erikah !LOLZ !PIZZA .

Yah!! You're here this month! Been missing you in the past few months

Yes, I made it this time as it was about tomatoes, but I'm afraid everyone was able to guess the result ☹️

I guess 18 plants

Good luck with your entry!

Good evening, a thousand blessings to all, for the contest my answer is 17 tomato plants

Thank you for your blessing @aichel !

Happy New month @livinguktaiwan
It's another wonderful guess contest and I'm always happy to be here with you
The guess may actually be more difficult than it looks
But With careful consideration and view, My guess on this one is going to be 17

It could be difficult, it could be easy, will find out soon...

Congratulations on your growth..
My guess is it's 18 plants. I see alot of people saying 17 but I see an extra. I just hope it's not my eyes playing a trick on me.

Guess we'll find out very soon if your eyes are your friends😀

This one seem very hard to guess but I will guess either ways and my guess is there are 16 tomato plants in the pots.

Good luck with your guess !

Yeah, thank you for Wishing me luck, I really appreciate it 🥰🥰.

Fun! My guess is 16 plants. Take care!

Thanks for joining on my little contest!

Sixteen

Uhhh.. a deviation from 8 😃

The 8 will be less favourable after 2024 according to Xuankong Flying star. Anyway, it looks more than 7

My guess is 17 :)
And wish you another successful month like Apr

My guess is 17 plant

16 plants.

I can count 17 in the second photo but I think we have a few hiding behind stalks, so I'm going to go for 20 total🤞

I've been told I play little tricks on people, so you never know, you could be right!!!

I guess 18

Thanks so much

Greetings friend my answer is 15 plant

Good evening. I'm going with 20

Good luck with your guess!

My guess is 17
