A Special Thank You To My Readers For Helping With The 2009 Get it Garden Challenge

Shawna with Peter Pumpkin Pre-Carved

What an awesome gardening season – the response to the 2009 “Get It Garden Challenge” has been wonderful. Readers in over 20 countries have come to The Casual Gardener blog this season. That’s a definite reason for celebration!

Because of the challenge, I met dozens of gardeners who both learned and educated. They  shared their incredible gardens with my readers and defined community by gardening.

As an example, see the below photos of Eugene Bordelon’s peppers. Eugene will be gardening on through the late fall as he still has carrots and sweet potatoes he harvests throughout the end of the season. These beautiful peppers are representative of the many, many photos I received this year from gardeners all over the world.Gene Bordelon's peppers

Thank you to everyone who participated – I will continue to give gardening tips and share garden photos of yours even after the challenge – send them along.

There will be a lot to cover this fall and winter, so I will keep on writing of course – if you have suggestions, questions, or need help, please write me at blog@thecasualgardener.com.Gene Bordelon's peppers
