Shergar Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) I noticed this recently on the BBC and thought it would work well as a summer challenge here. It's something that I think most people can have some fun with. Whether it's homegrown garden fruits and vegetables , kitchen garden herbs etc , or your favorite home brewed beverage . Interpret it as you wish and have fun. The challenge will end August 31st. Usual rules apply - up to three submissions per contributor and all images have to be for sale on Alamy. Thats it my last edit so good luck everyone Duncan Edited August 9, 2020 by Shergar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Congrats on the win Duncan! Tough challenge for me since I don't grow much at home other than my two kids. 1) My kids at home seeing how much they have grown! 2) Roasting marshmallows in the homemade fire pit. 3) Electrical wiring on the plans for building a home.

Im not an expert on Alamy rules and regulations but I don't think they like Stockimo images to be used on these boards, so Im going to answer no.

I took the word Homegrown quite loosely, and my last 2 photos are from the homes of family - my garden is nowhere near so lovely! The gooseberries were grown and kindly given to me by a friend as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Woods Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) I had to push the definitions a bit to get something suitable, but here goes. Home-made boy doing raspberry fingers with home-grown raspberries. Home-made bath on a campsite. Big brother watches kid sister having a bath in a plastic storage box. It was when I got in after her that people started to look. (Kidding of course) Home-made energy in Nepal. Various trekking companies supply the lodges with parabolic mirrors to heat water to save the burning of the scarce wood at high altitude.

MizBrown Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Roasted jicaro seeds for horchata, bread, and coffee. A clay comal being used to roast jicaro seeds for a drink made from ground roasted cacao and jicaro seeds called horchata in Nicaragua. Pre-contact style comals are still sold and used. Most people buy their horchata pre-ground and sweetened. Whole wheat bread made with a natural sourdough starter, Annandale, Virginia, US. Orphan Espresso Lido Hand Grinder with locally produced beans, testing grind for French press. Local growers' coop has a coffee shop where they sell whole beans.

Sybille Reuter Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Here we go. As all I grow at home is hair and dirty dishes, my entries are a little more interpretative 😁 1) Berlin, my home, always growing. Not only in buildings but in and out of its own history too. The historical City Palace reconstructed in this picture is in the former location of the Palace of the Republic, a previous modernist building that housed the GDR parliament: 2) Homegrowing woes, only in India edition: 3) Not really home and not really growing, but a traditional way of preserving food: Harðfiskur, Icelandic dried fish, hanging outside to dry. If you ever think about growing your own dry fish clotheslines at home, make sure you can handle the nightmares these heads can bring: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
