As you may recall, on Wednesday I invited readers to enter a drawing for 14 packets of Renee's Garden heirloom Merveille De Quatre Saisons bibb lettuce by leaving a comment saying what vegetables you're planning to grow this gardening season.
It's exciting seeing so many people planning vegetable gardens and including veggies in their ornamental gardens, some for the first time this year. It's been fun reading all your comments and getting a sneak peak at what will be growing in your gardens this spring and summer.
As promised, names were drawn from a hat. . . the Lawn Man's hat to be precise. . . one of many in his vast collection of baseball hats. To make sure the drawing was completely unbiased, I asked him to draw the names. He was happy to join in the fun.
Although I wish I had a packet of seeds to give to everyone who stopped by to comment and enter the giveaway, it IS awfully nice to have fourteen prizes to give away.
And now, without further ado, the winners are:
(Drum roll please. . . . )

Congratulations! Winners, please send me an email to lintys2057@gmail.com, and include your full name and mailing address. I'll get the seeds out right away so you'll have them in time to take advantage of the cooler weather lettuce prefers.
Thanks to everyone for playing, and thank you Renee for providing the seeds. I'll look forward to hearing from the fourteen winners and getting seeds out to you as soon as possible. Happy gardening, and happy eating!
Linda that is so kind of you. And giving the seeds will keep the kindness going.
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet! I'm bummed I missed this and many other posts. My week has been crazy and I've missed catching up with all my favorite garden bloggers. I'm up tonight to see what else is going on out there!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, Linda! Now I won't have to debate about what kind of lettuce seed to buy this year. Many thanks to you for sponsoring this, to Renee for her generosity, and, of course, to the Lawn Man!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anna! I'm happy to share them! Wish there were enough to give some to everyone!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gardeness! I'm sorry you missed it too. It must be a challenge keeping up with a little guy at home wanting your attention. I haven't forgotten what it was like having little ones - hard to find time for yourself!
Congratulations Rose! I'm looking forward to sending you some seeds! I think I got a little carried away with lettuce seeds, good thing they usually stay viable for a few years!
Linda, I am thrilled and honored and in accepting...promise to plant these seeds and not allow them to go into my vast and ever growing museum of seeds! Seriously...Thank you. I love Renee's seeds! You are a dear for sharing! Gail
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Gail! I'm excited you're trying veggies in your garden this year. It will be fun comparing notes!
ReplyDeleteOh boy oh boy oh boy, I won! I'll email my address. This will be a great addition to my other lettuce seeds from Renee's. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Monica! Time to stock up on salad dressing!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners!
ReplyDeleteWow, I am thrilled to find out that I won also. Thank you so much garden girl. This is great, I am so looking forward to starting this seed. I can hardly wait for it to make it to the salad bowl. Come on spring, hurry up.
ReplyDeleteJen
Thank you for playing Tina!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Jen! It won't be long now!
How exciting! I never win anything! I'm excited to plant them and it'll be fun to think of how I got the lettuce while we enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Catherine! I'm excited you got to win something for a change!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your pretty French lettuce!
Isn't it wonderful when you have the ability to give things away that makes people happy? What a wonderful friend you are. Congrats to the winners!
ReplyDeleteHi Cinj, it was really fun being able to do something nice like this! I'm so glad we had the extra seeds after our presentation at the garden show.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for participating!
Aw, nothing like reading the results of a contest you never knew about! Congrats to the winners, I "know" a lot of those folks via the blogosphere and figure I'll get to read/see all about their lettuces as they grow. Thanks for stopping by my blog, I'm slowly getting around to other Bloom Day posts, one day late!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I hope we'll see some of this lettuce growing in gardens all around the blogosphere! That would be fun!
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed the drawing.
Congratulations to all the winners. I love your photo of the slips and the hat. So cute. Happy Spring.~~Dee
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners! Happy planting...
ReplyDeleteLinda, I'm way ahead of you--I always stock up any time the Kroger (store brand) dressings go on sale. :) I'm particularly enamored with their lite Caeser, which doesn't taste lite!
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering around the blogosphere trying to remember who was giving away French lettuce heirloom seeds. LOL! I'm glad I found my way back. Great fun to see who won.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dee! I had the hat and the slips all ready for the Lawn Man, then I thought I should have a picture for the post, so I grabbed the camera and snapped!
ReplyDeleteHi Skeeter, hope you're having a great day!
Hi Monica, Excellent! You're good to go! I've been addicted to an Asian dressing with sesame oil lately. Mmmm! Caesar's one of my favorite dressings - bet it will be good on some nice French bibb lettuce!
Hi Curmudgeon, Thanks for playing! Oh, that sounds familiar - I've spent plenty of time wandering around the blogosphere trying to find a particular post! The old memory just isn't what it used to be, and mine was never stellar to begin with! ;)
Wow I feel so lucky! Thanks Linda, I'll email you my info shortly.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Racquel! Hope you enjoy the lettuce!
ReplyDeleteOh joy of joys!!! Thanks so much, Linda! I will so enjoy munching on this great lettuce and will be sure and give Renee lots of business too. :-)
ReplyDeleteFrances
Thank you so much, Linda -- I look forward to a bumper crop! I'll take pics. :-) I forwarded my info in email.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome cousin! Congratulations! Renee will be getting my business too. I'm excited to find a source of such wonderful and hard-to-find heirloom varieties.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Nancy! I'll look forward to seeing your lettuce growing!
Well, thank ya! I'll head on over to email you. So nice of you. By the way, I have some hyacinth bean vine seeds from last year if you want me to send you some. Remember the big purple beans from last season I posted?
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Hi Brenda, you're welcome!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try hyacinth bean vines! I remember those - they were beautiful. Thank you!
Thanks so much, the wonderful seeds arrived in the mail the other day. Such gorgeous packaging! I can't wait to try them out. Now all we need is some slightly warmer weather.

We have been getting all that rain too Rose. I am way behind in the garden this year. The weeds are trying to win the war. It is amazing how the flowers seem to know when bloom day is occuring and wait until the following day to open.
