  Hi,

  I hope you win the b5media contest!

  Anyway, I like your How-To category although you already have a bunch of posts on that. I’m not good at gardening much as all my plants tend to die fast. Maybe you could post up more tips/tricks.

  I’ve participated in the poll, and blogged about your contest. So that’s 3 entries for me.

  Cool gardening blog - very informative. Keep up the good work!

  Thanks!

  I’m only thinking of gardening but have a possibly unique dilema. I live on 20 acres but it’s all wooded (which I love)… so there are only a few spots that get lots of sun. The other prob is that we have deer and raccoons and a gob of other critters to contend with. And I love them so don’t want to hurt them but wouldn’t want my garden to be a critter buffet either. lol. So… I’d need help from beginning to end. I’m very needy. :)

  Hello, I have been getting your email newsletter for awhile now! I really enjoy it. I was brought up by grandparents and parents who enjoy gardening. This included vegetable gardens and flower gardens. My dad and mom had prolific flowers everywhere in our yards. It was a nice oasis. My mom is now gone so my sister and I help my 89 year old dad take care of his yard and plant a vegetable garden. For the first time, my sister has started lettuce seedlings to transplant in my dad’s garden! They came up in 4 days. I would love to see more garden recipes on your site that use tomatoes, spinach, collards, chard, lettuce, etc. Also, we have trouble with squirrels eating the tomatoes and rabbits eating the lettuce. I did take part in your poll. Please enter me in your generous drawing. Thanks,Cindi
