Why start a new post instead of posting in this thread? Unless the point is specifically to drive up post count I'd rather be able to just scroll through the responses.

It's more of a theme than a contest, as of now. However if we start to get an unbelievable amount of participants, we'll figure something out.

We tried it the other way during the pandemic, and it just didn't work. Basically we want everybody to be able to comment under each other's posts.

Well I don't think you should be allowed to win and the only entries were me and soundmachine, just pick a winner.

Well, part of the reason it didn't work was that you couldn't post pictures in the comments until very recently! I participate in very similar threads in forums all over the internet, they would get very negative feedback if everybody posted on the exact same topic in different threads.
Some of these threads are decades old with thousands of comments, like on a craftsman website where the thread is "what did you do today". All you have to do to comment on somebody's comment is quote or partially quote the post that you're referring to.

Last one. Group photo. Everyone here looks tired. They’re cold and wishes for sunnier days.

We're not much for houseplants, We like to keep our streetside ground floor shades drawn, and there's not a lot of room anyway. I focus on the vegetable & fruit garden. We used to have a ficus tree we gave away.
A few years ago we acquired a couple of orchids, and amazingly they bloom every winter for months! They and the cactus are hard to kill.

Anyone buy from Hudson florists on Bergen? I’m looking to get more ”hard to kill” plants.
