To celebrate the 100,000th. view of my blog, which took place on Christmas morning, I have decided to hold a little contest. Following, you will find 10 questions, and 10,000 points will be awarded for each correct answer, for a total of 100,000 possible points. If there is a tie for the greatest number of points, a random drawing will be held to determine the winner. All answers can be found somewhere in my blogs. The prize will be an assortment of garden seeds for your 2011 vegetable garden.
To enter, just leave a comment to this post by midnight December 31, 2010. The winner will be chosen by highest total points. If there is a tie, a random drawing will be made to determine the winner.
1. Who is Annie?
2. How old is Granny?
3. What is Granny's real first name?
4. Where was Granny born?
5. Who is Alicyn, and when was she born?
6. What was the title of my very first post on Annie's Kitchen Garden?
7. How many pints of salsa did Granny can in 2010?
8. What usually happens on Mondays at Annie's Kitchen Garden?
9. Why does Granny have a "kennel garden"?

Good luck!

Merry Christmas to you all! I'm an avid follower but I've never posted a comment before.. mostly because I don't have a gardening blog up and running .. YET! I hope to get it started early in 2011. I actually found your blog when searching for garden goodies for our new pet rabbit, Sir Gallihad Poopypants, our chief contributor to compost in the garden! :) And boy does he ever contribute! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my answers to your questions:
1. Annie is your precious girl dog, aka Annie Bloom! (the smarter of the 2 so we're told..)
2. Your birthday is January 26th and you are 71 years young!
3. Your REAL 1st name is Carol.
4. You were born and raised in Lewiston, Idaho.
5. Alicyn is your daughter Amy's daughter, your granddaughter and is the cutest lil garden helper ever! She was born 10/20/08 at 11:55.
6. Your first post was titled 'Garden Diary 2008'.
7. 40 pints is what I could find as the last total of salsa. Amazing!
8. HARVEST MONDAY! It's the day you make all of us drool.. ha!
9. You originally bought the kennel for the dogs but they would have nothing to do with it.. so you puppy-proofed the yard and let them have free reign. Then you moved the kennel to the back corner and use it as a trellis in the veggie garden.
10. Otto!
Thanks for this contest, it was fun to go searching for the answers. Your blog is very inspiring for me and I hope to have my own up and running to share along with all of you!
Merry Christmas!

Carolynp, I hope you had a merry Christmas, too! It's pretty nice down here right now, but you should have seen the rain we got last week. When it does rain here, it doesn't fool around.
