Win a 2009 "Mustard Seeds" garden calendar!

Ho, ho, ho!  Christmas is coming, and I’ve got a gift for you gardeners out there. My publisher, B&H Books, has created an absolutely gorgeous calendar for 2009, packed with beautiful garden photos and growing tips. It also contains quotes and scripture from my new book, Mustard Seeds: Thoughts on the Nature of God and Faith. You can see the cover and some sample pages above.

As you know, the Southeastern Flower Show opens in Atlanta next Jan. 28 through Feb.1, and the theme is, How Do You Bloom?

To win a calendar, just leave a comment here to answer the question.  Maybe you “bloom” by growing exquisite orchids, heirloom tomatoes, or dwarf sunflowers.  Maybe you bloom by planting a row for the hungry, teaching Scouts about nature, or taking potted plants to shut-ins.  Some of us bloom by releasing ladybugs in the garden instead of using harsh chemicals, or by growing morning glories on the porch, or by creating butterfly gardens for our libraries and senior centers.  Others bloom when they visit botanical gardens across the country, or just lean over a neighbor’s fence to talk about dahlias or rutabagas.  We want to know how you bloom and what sparks your passion.

Here's a sample page from the calendar, complete with gardening tips.

On Jan. 21, 2009–one week before the flower show opens– I’ll pick the best three entries and contact those gardeners to ask for their mailing addresses.  (You don’t have to leave anything except your first name with your comment, and an email address so I can respond to you.)  I’ll drop a free calendar in the mail to each winner.

So remember: leave a comment and tell us, How do you bloom??

Yum...watermelons are featured for the month of July.

cheers,
