Hello friends! This week our “Photo of the Week” contest continues on Facebook. Here’s how it works: You post photos of your garden, projects and containers to our Facebook page. Every week we will choose a winner who will receive a gift planter.

It’s that simple!

So if you didn’t post anything this week, be sure to get your photos posted for next week’s contest. Here’s the winning photo this week:

We couldn’t resist this lovely photo of Sue Blethen’s  Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’. Isn’t it gorgeous? Plant this in your garden, and the hummingbirds will flock to it.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their fabulous garden pics, and keep ’em coming!

You could win next week, just post your fun gardening photos to our Facebook page
