It's been a challenging year for gardeners here in the Northeast. A wet, cold spring
prevented some of us from completing garden cleanup and mulching on time. This was
followed by hot weather and just enough rain to keep the weeds growing like ...
well, weeds!
Numerous folks have bemoaned the trouble they've had controlling weeds in their gardens
this year and we've had our struggles with them here at the Farm as well. Being
optimistic folks, we've decided to follow the old adage, "When life gives you lemons,
make lemonade!"
Here are the rules:
- Entrants will submit digital photos of weeds growing in their gardens
by 8/31/2011.
- The entry deemed to have the worst weeds will win a $25 gift certificate
from Hummingbird Farm. And a Worst Weeds Winner Certificate. And, of course, bragging
rights!
- The winner will be selected by Brian and Cindy and their decision is
final.
- Selection criteria will be arbitrary, opinionated and probably quite
random, like almost everything else around here.
- Hummingbird Farm reserves the right to use submitted photos on their web
site or Facebook page or in their newsletter. We may even make a collage of them.
However, the identity of the Guilty Gardeners will be kept hush-hush.
Unless of course, you want folks to know that's your garden.....
- Photos must be taken in YOUR own garden. No fair picking on the
neighbors!
- Photos must show a recognizable garden. Fields of goldenrod, ditches
growing sumac or grass and poison ivy on the edge of the woods don't count.
- Photos must be taken during 2011. Yes, you're on the honor system
here.
- Photos may be submitted via email or posted directly to our Facebook
page.
- Know someone with a Worst Weeds problem greater than yours?
Encourage them to enter!
