This Giveaway is Now Closed.
The Winner is: Susan S. who had this to say: “I love planting carrots! Why?… because my kids and their friends get such a kick out of pulling them up and chomping on them Bugs Bunny style. Most of the kids in the neighborhood have never gardened before, and they love holding a freshly plucked carrot with the long green tips on the end.”
A couple of years ago my friends and I were given a special behind the scenes tour of the Botanical Interests Seed Company in Broomfield, Colorado. It was really awesome to meet everyone who works behind the scenes and to see all the seeds and how they are packaged.
I have been using Botanical Interests seeds for about 5 years now and let me tell you Bob, I think they are pretty awesome and I’m super pumped to be offering this giveaway to one lucky Dig for Your Dinner reader.

My all time favorite is all the different types of tomatoes.

Definitely a hard question! Peas are probably the favorite- they are very productive, and my kids love to help pick them. I’ll probably end up planting a second row this year.

My favorite plant was a potato. After a lot of straw and tender loving care when I went digging for my ‘treasure trove’ of potatoes I almost missed them. I had two golf ball sized taters. We spent quite a bit of time laughing over that; although, I am going to try again this year.

Last comment from me. First this is a good way to see all the ways you reach out to the public. I rarely think of businesses on Facebook but it seems there are many.
Second: the photo on which I commented was the chicken with chard. My chickens are often a hoot and you are helping me learn better how to keep them well fed and entertained. Thanks.

Roma tomatoes. Delicious flavor, they don’t need a lot of babying, great size to pack in a lunch and super hardy. I STILL have tomatoes rippening on my window sill and in Michigan when it is now 9 degrees outside that’s sayin’ something!

My favorite vegetable to plant is tomatoes! Store bought can’t compare to homegrown. My favorite variety this year was Tumbling Tom – a cherry tomatoes that I grew as a hanging plant due to my limited gardening space. I had so many cherry tomatoes from one plant that I pickled and canned them. I also have to have Lemon Cucumbers!

I LOVE garden-grown tomatoes, but I have yet to have any luck with them. So far out of things I can grow, my favorite vegetable is okra.

Favorite vegetable to plant (though I know it’s technically a fruit, yadda ya ya) has to be tomatoes. We did not have a great year with tomatoes last year (or really most of our garden) but even the few that we were able to pick were just magic to eat. Love fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes!

I can’t chose a favorite – I love everything I’ve ever planted, well, maybe not the Swiss chard … but I still think that’s maybe because I didn’t cook it right. I love the first radishes in the spring (although I don’t like to eat them myself, but I do love growing them), I love all the different types of lettuce – so pretty! Beans, tomatoes (oh, tomatoes!), squash …
I can’t choose.
