Saturday, November 20

So which is our favourite vegetable, flower, herb, fruit and tool and ... competition result!

RESULTS OF THE POLLS:
The entrants to the competition voted on their favourite vegetable, fruit, flower, herb and garden tool. The results of this mini survey was as follows:
There was lots of different opinions about favourite vegetable with parsnip, broccoli and tomato (honorary vegetable) sharing top spot but with only 2 votes each.
Favourite fruit was more conclusive with the strawberry knocking spots off everything else with 7 votes.
Basil was top of the herbs with (if we include lemon basil) 5 votes.
Rose and dahlias shared top spot for flowers with 3 votes each.
Wheelbarrow came top of the tools with 3 votes.
This is only taking into consideration the views of a relatively small number of gardeners so even though the competition has ended if you would like to post your favourites in the comments then please feel free and I'll update the results at a later date.

COMPETITION RESULTS
If you entered the competition then I don't suppose any of that interested you one little bit - did you even read it?

I'm afraid I don't have a toddler to make the draw as Damo did or a parakeet as Craig had so I had to wait for a friend to arrive this afternoon so we could have an independent name picker.


In all we had 15 entrants - thank you for your interest.

I added you too MKG even though you were outside of Europe.

If you win you can nominate a recipient.

So here are the labels just to try and prove everyone's name went into the bag.



The following is a video clip of the draw just to show it was fair and the winner is ...

Congratulations to Phil - sorry that you all couldn't win! Phil can you email me so I have your email address to send you your voucher code. If I don't hear from you by next Saturday 26 November then I will offer the prize to the reserve that was drawn out at the same time but not filmed for obvious reasons! By the way have you a blog Phil as if so I will post a link to it here.

  12. Congratulations to Phil, I hope he claims his prize, it would be a shame for him to miss out.

  13. I hope Phil gets in touch too - problem is I don't know whether he is a regular visitor but I can't keep the prize for too long as people want to buy their seeds. I think a week is long enough to wait as most visitors will visit at least once a week - won't they?
