Hometown Seeds – Kitchen Herbs Value Pack Giveaway

by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom on February 14, 2011

Congratulations to our winners:

Jenny said, “I hope to grow a lot of tomatoes this year. The kids eat the grape tomatoes before we ever get a chance, so I’m hoping that if we grow MORE of them then the adults will get to try them once in a while.”

Dana C. said, “We plant a garden each year! This year we are looking forward to fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, peppers, and melons!! I’d love to venture out and grow some fresh herbs, too! Thanks for your website, Erin!! ”

Courtney said, “I subscribe in RSS feeder”

Allison said, “I’m just hoping to grow *something*! I kill everything I plant but I’m going to keep trying!”

Suzanne C. said, “I follow you on fb. I do container gardening with herbs, tomatoes and peppers.”

**All winners have been emailed with further instructions.**

It’s supposed to be 45 today…and into the mid-50s by the end of the week.

Means I can get out into the garden, right?!

I WISH! (We have an early-middle of May frost date here.)

I don’t think I can wait that long!

But, I can get started with planting seeds indoors soon! (For those of you who don’t know, I use the Square Foot Gardening method!)

If you haven’t done much in terms of gardening before, herbs is a great place to start! They grow easily and I can’t imagine not cooking with them throughout the summer months!

From these little packets…

Comes these fabulous fresh herbs…

Just think of all the fragrant delicious-ness these herbs will bring to your cooking this summer!

This week, we’re giving away 5 Kitchen Herb Value Packs from Homegrown Seeds. The value pack comes with seeds for…

Whether you are a master gardener or will be starting your garden for the first time this year…these seeds could be yours!
