Grow your own — it’s organic

by Mir at 12:45 pm on March 21, 2009 in Contests

So, I’m busy staking out a sizable garden, this year, spurred on by the success of my deck containers from last year. And my kids are actually old enough to be ~~slave labor~~ a help. But say your kids are littler, or that you’re just starting to think about gardening. What would be a good way to get started?

How about a My First Organics kit? It comes with everything you need to grow your own organic produce, from seed to harvest.

I have a kit here that will allow you to grow your own heirloom yellow pear cherry tomatoes. Doesn’t that sound fun? They’re so pretty (and look striking in a salad, if they ever make it that far—little tomatoes in my house are usually eaten straight off the vine), and delicious, too. It’s easy, it’s good for the environment, and it’s a great family project.

Want to win it? First go review the contest rules and regulations and then come back here and leave a comment before 11:59 p.m. Eastern (that’s 8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Sunday, March 22nd, 2009 for a chance to win. Winner to be determined by random number generation and greenness of thumb. (Though, honestly, I’ve always had a black thumb and it’s tomatoes that have taught me I actually can grow delicious things if I’m patient.)

Ready? Go!

Cherry TOMATOES?! My oldest would flip.
This is our first year gardening and I am worried that the bunnies and deer will eat the fruit of my labor.

So anyway… PICK ME!
