CAN WE HAVE A DRUM-ROLL? The nifty gadget at Random.org has selected reader Susan (“safoga”) — the 44th comment — as the winner of our recent drawing. Congratulations, Susan, I think you’ll have fun spending $50 at White Flower Farm!
But I want to thank everyone who entered the drawing, too. Believe me, I enjoyed reading your comments, your stories. And what gorgeous plants all of you mentioned.
Now stay tuned…another garden-related drawing will be announced in September, right on cue for the season of bulb-planting. I’m thinking another gift certificate is in order.
Meanwhile, you can learn how to enjoy your garden more by reading the many, many articles here at A Garden for the House. Are you interested in flowering plants that come up year after year? Go to “categories” and click on “Perennials.” Need a quick appetizer for a cocktail party? Click “Recipes.” Ditto for houseplants, vegetables, herbs, and…well, you get the idea!

Kevin, the drawing was lovely and so much fun to play. I look forward to the next one! I hope everyone who played sticks around. So much more fun when there's a crowd!
Sharon says
What a great website! So glad I found you!
Erin says
That was fun! Thanks Kevin for all the great advise and tips! You make me a better gardener.

Hello! I saw the most unusual flying thing among the butterfly bushes today. It looked like a multicolored shrimp with wings. After some internet research I discovered it was a hummingbird moth. Very weird. Have you seen them in your garden?

Lisa – So THAT'S what it is! I saw one drinking from my white nicotiana one evening this week. I'll do a post on this fascinating creature.
Susan O'Bryant says
Thanks, Kevin! I'm so excited to have won. I can't wait to spend my gift certificate and get some beautiful bulbs for my flower beds. 🙂 I appreciate the generous giveaway very much. Happy weekend!

Susan – The pleasure is all mine. Enjoy!
