So yo know that big post I did the other day about all the seeds I was about to order, well the budget got re-appropriated for a more important bill. But no fear, I found this wonderful site called Listia (thank you Adventures of a Thrifty Mama for sharing the link!) where I have won jerusalem artichoke seeds and mustard green seeds and have bids out on a few others including blackberries and strawberries. The best part? They are all free and all the ones I have bid on are free shipping also!!
And now for the giveaway! It's a really cute tomato planter with a bag of organic growing medium (ain't it funny how they make dirt sound fancy?) and a package of tiny tim cherry tomato seeds!! I'm asking you do 2 things to enter:
-share the link to the blog on social media and leave a comment here with a link to it
-leave a comment here on what you plan to grow this spring
I will then leave it up to a random number generator to decide who wins!! Good luck to all that enter, you have till January 31st to get those comments in!!!
Pic to come as soon as my connection stops being so fickle and lets me upload!

ReplyDeleteI'm definitely planning on some tomatoes, bell peppers, squash, zucchini, hopefully some herbs too. :D I hope I win!!!
Last year, we were experimenting with gardening. This year, the motto is "Go big or go home". We are growing green beans, cowpeas, turnips, salad greens, carrots, cucumbers (slicing and pickling), cantaloupe, watermelon, beets, radishes, borage, summer savory, feverfew, eggplant, squash, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers and of course tomatoes! Herbs include chives, oregano, tarragon, cilantro and basil.
ReplyDeleteWe're also planning on TONS of flowers to attract the bees, beneficials and predatory insects to help us control the unwanted pests.
I can't WAIT for spring!
I love gardening and I like to add something new each year. Corn,Tomatoes,Peppers,Peas,green beens and the new will be potatoes and garlic, oats and rye for the chickens and and me as well..
