Garden Ornament
Many of you may have caught that I have gotten onto a seed clearance at one of the local stores. Well, that has finally ended, but has left me with a lot of seeds. So the answer is simple - Hold a contest!
This "contest" is just a simple trivia quiz - some gardening related, some not. The fourth EG'er who PM's me correctly with all the answers will win a lovely prize assortment of flower and vegetable seeds hand selected just for them.
Be sure to add the words "giveaway answers" in your PM title. The winner will be notified by PM and can give me their address at that time.
Have fun and Good Luck!
