“I think carnations are making a comeback.”
– Carrie Bradshaw (a character on Sex and the City)
Carnations are winners in my book. Not only are they pretty and ruffly, but they last forever in the vase, and their scent is lovely, with a hint of spice at the heart that makes me lean in to sniff several times a day.
I’m afraid I did not properly follow up on my half-anniversary giveaway, and I do apologize to you for that. With the move over to the other site ongoing, I guess I just forgot. It’s getting a little difficult to keep up with both sites and all of the details, so if you haven’t visited The Enchanted Earth, please come on over and don’t forget to change your bookmarks, subscriptions, and links. Soon the transition will be complete, and Victory Garden Redux will be a happy memory.
Thank you to everyone for your kind congratulations on my half-year anniversary of blogging. Some of those comments were so nice they made me blush. I hope to continue to meet your expectations for another half year and beyond.
Without further ado, the winners of the selection of seeds are: Annie’s Granny, Jackie, and Carol. I know Granny prefers lettuce (not just for herself, but I think for her adorable rabbit Cookie, too), and Jackie wants a selection of radishes to amuse her husband’s taste buds.
Carol, you’ll have to let me know your seed preference: is it to be radishes, lettuce, or cucumbers?
I’ll be in touch with all three of you soon about addresses and details.
As for the rest of you who commented and who read this blog, you know you’re all winners to me!

Yahoo! Cookie and I thank you for selecting us as winners of the lettuce seeds! I’ll just build him his own little grazing garden this spring. It will be a lovely place for him to enjoy his old age

Well done to all the recipients of the seeds! I think it’s very exciting and I’m looking forward to pictures of the seeds growing up in their new homes.

Dear Meredith, I think that the picture of your pink Carnation is lovely and I am so pleased that you have enjoyed the scent from a vase of them indoors. Unfortunately, those available from florists in the UK very often lack any fragrance at all so I have rather given up on them.
It is so good that you now appear to have made the transition of sites. I shall continue to google daily as I cannot subscribe for some reason. Can you make Google Friend Connect available?

I love daisies for the same reason – they just keep giving and giving. I haven’t peeked into Victory Garden Redux, so I think my transition is complete.

I couldn’t agree more that Carnations are due for a comeback. Their frilly pinkness fits with the girlie theme that seems to be everywhere.
Roll on summer, I will be putting some of them in, next to my Dahlias and Crysanthemums!
