Garden Bloggers are the best!

A couple of weeks ago one of my favorite garden bloggers Tina celebrated her blog’s one year anniversary.  She had a small contest where if you guessed how many posts she did in a year you won a prize.   When she posted that I had guessed right I was in shock.  I’ve never won a contest in my life, so I was thrilled!   The prize was a choice between a gift certificate to Walmart or a handmade garden sign.  I picked the sign and it came in the mail yesterday evening!!!!  Thanks Tina, it looks great and I love it!  She also made the little feet it rests on and included four packets of seed from her garden.   What a generous gift that I appreciate very much.  The seeds include: Cleome (mixed colors), Orange Cosmos, Dill, and Flowering Tobacco (Nicotiana sylvestis).   I love the clear marbles she stuck into the concrete on the ends.  The color she mixed into the concrete is a beautiful shade of brick red.  As soon as I unpacked it I knew it would be perfect for my Arbor Garden which is its’ new home as you can see below.

Thanks Tina!  You’re the best!
