Each week this month – which is Let’s G.O. (Get Outside) Month – I’m hosting a “Get Outside” giveaway featuring one of our favorite things.
This week’s item: Vegetable Garden Seeds
Why We Love It
This week, we planted a vegetable garden for the second year in a row. That’s saying a lot, since last year we had very little success.
Even though our first vegetables didn’t produce as much as we’d have liked, spending time caring for the space was anything but a waste. The explorers and I both enjoyed every aspect – from planting and watering to daily checks on growth and eventually enjoying the results.
Whether you’re brand new to gardening or a seasoned “expert,” you can always use more seeds! This collection comes with 11 packets – something for everyone:
- Super-Sweet 100 tomatoes
- Better Boy tomatoes
- Blue Lake beans
- Waltham broccoli
- Salad Bowl lettuce
- Danvers carrots
- Early Scarlet radishes
- Straight 8 cucumbers
- White Lisbon onions
- California Wonder green peppers
- Black Beauty zucchini

We planted an herb garden last year with our kids & they loved not only watching them grow but learning how to cook with them and seeing how they tasted too! Thanks for the chance to win.<br /><br />bamagv at aol dot com<br /><br />grettajohns.blogspot.com<br /><br />Twitter: @TheJohnsFamily
We play in the garden daily because we are addicted to dirt, water and sun…just like our plants. It helps that we created http://www.kardenscorner.com so it's now our job to play outside daily too!
We started planting a vegetable garden last year. This year We let my 5 year old son help plant the seeds and water the plants. He was very excited to get his own gardening tools too. We are now letting our 3 year old help as well. They both get excited to see the vegetables grow and it's a good way to get them to try new veggie's as well.<br />nfonseca(at)mac.com
We have started our first gardens this year!<br />http://livingandlearningnow.blogspot.com/2011/03/our-first-gardens.html
We aren't planting a garden this year–since I KNOW our house will sell any day now, but what a great giveaway!
You have inspired me. Growing up in an apartment in NYC I have never planted a vegetable. Would love to share the experience with my daughter.<br />adbw17@yahoo.com
My 2 year old thought it was the greatest thing harvesting our own green beans last year! Can't wait to get it started again this year!<br /><br />alklong at hotmail dot com
My daughter is very excited about planting her very own sunflowers this year. Oh, and the tomatoes – we usually plant a few cherry tomato plants which she has free reign over. Very few of the ripe tomatoes ever make it in our house (or even into the mouth of the grownups, it seems). <br />kwatrous at gmail dot com
Never attempted a garden since I can't seem to keep any kind of plant/flower alive, but have always wanted to! Katie would love it! :)<br />sarachrobot@hotmail.com
We love to garden in our family!!! Got our seeds planted, but could use some to add to the garden, or save for next year! lgrossman27@yahoo.com
My kids and I plant a garden each year….they help plant the seeds, water it, harvest it and (of course) eat it! juliemelberg@gmail.com
shoot- here's my email<br />abbazabba16@gmail.com
Awesome – hope I win :)<br />My 4 year old daughter and I planted a fairy garden this year, some herbs and sunflowers. Even my 2 year old is excited to check on them every time we walk out the front door! Just little sprouts right now.
