5th Blogoversary Give-Away ... Sweetening the Pot!

The 5th anniversary of this blog was in August! I ambitiously had back-to-back give-aways lined up to celebrate the event, with all of the prizes coming from the sponsors of the (I know, I know, I talk about it way too much), the 6th Annual Garden Bloggers Fling ...

A paused moment in the garden binging, I mean, flinging.

Well, concurrently with this ambition, was a bunch of new clients! Whoa. Somebody got busy! How happy is that!?! The prizes were lined up, but the give-aways lagged behind.

The Blogoversary Botanical Seeds Give-Away

Enter November and my daily posting with Blogher's NaBloPoMo. The blogging mill starts coming back to life! We currently have one Give-Away  ...

... this very cool Seed Sprouter from Botanical Interests

The sprouter has 2 layers that can have dividers added to create 4 sections. Thus 4 potential different seeds sprouting at the same time, or 1 seed in 4 different stages. The bottom tray catches any draining water. There are also a variety of sprouting seeds to be given away. I'm trying one of these seeds now, using an old spaghetti sauce container. The winner will have way more class than me!


The Give-away expands ... Now we're going to "sweeten the pot"!



Pruners are important. Different sizes for different jobs. I'm always glad to have them around. But these shears have something extra ... they're like an extension of my hand! Comfortable, easy to use. I love 'em!



Variety Pack of Annie Haven Moo-Poo Manure Teas ( "Horse", "Cow" and "Alfalfa")

My biggest gardening weakness is soil fertility. Maybe you, too, need to give your soil and your plants an extra boost. Would be worth a try, don't you think? And, you'll get to try it in all three "flavors".



Suppliers of  everything organic for the homesteader and urban gardener, except tractors and hay balers. Details to come ...

How to Enter, How to Win

How it will work ... post a comment on this post saying something about pruners, sprouts, manure tea or hay balers. (Also, make sure a return link to you shows up in the comment box so I can contact you.) Random drawing for winners will take place on Nov. 30th. Good Luck!

  3. Congrats on the Blogoversary, Jeannie! I'd love to win any of the prizes, with the pruners at the top of my list: You just can't have too many of these in varying sizes and applications!

    1. These were the veggie/fruit shears we got from Corona on "Swag Night". Did you get/not get them?
      So looking forward to Portland next summer!

  4. I just bought a new house after renting for 3 years. I can't wait to get out in the yard next spring and put in a garden. I'd love any of these, but I could sure use some new pruners. I'm hard on mine, and they tend to get dull after a season or two. The compost tea bags are a great idea. I've done that using old tube socks, but these are so much prettier -- in spite of their contents. Thanks for the chance to win some cool stuff. reticulatedwriter@gmail.com

  13. Some day I hope to need a hay baler. But for now I'd rather win seeds, pruners, or manure tea.
