Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that Homestead Garden will be having a new contest starting in February. I'm searching for a good prize now and will give all the details for the contest soon. It will be similar to the unscrambling one that CJ previously did. I hope everyone will play and have fun with it.

Here's the book I've chosen for the prize.

Flowers by Geoffrey Burnie
From the Publisher
A garden that flowers all year round is an endless source of pleasure. This book shares with you all the tips and techniques you need to create that joy in your own yard, season after season.

I like this book. It seems to have a lot of info and uses easy to understand terms and has good illustrations and pictures.

Hope it suits everyone.

The contest will consist of 12 terms (12 days) that will need to be unscrambled. None of them are hard terms so really it's just a matter of checking the site often to see if I've left the clue. I will post it in particular forums which will give you a clue as to what the term is (annual, bulb, animal, etc.). First one to unscramble and post the correct word wins. Can't get much simplier than that.

If all goes well, I will post the first clue tomorrow - Sunday, Feb. 1.

Person with the most points at the end of the game wins and there will probably be a prize for second place too (soon as I find one).

Good luck everyone!
