Sorry I have no blog or links, and hope the pricedraw is open for readers overseas!?
I just discovered your blog and find it really inspiring. I*m longing for spring, but with the amount of snow we’ve got, I think it will take it’s time. :)

This year I’ve become increasingly concerned about the pesticides and additives found in regular grocery story produce. Thus – I became inspired to grow my own! I would love to use your book to help jumpstart my journey! Keep up the good work, and thanks!

What is really inspiring me to plant a garden this year is paying $2.69 for one fennel bulb and of course knowing how wonderful anything you grow yourself tastes!

This is inspiring me this year:

That was a picture from my herb garden three seasons ago. It hasn’t looked like that sense due to moving into a new yard and not taking the time to reallllly work on it. THIS YEAR is my year to get it looking like that again. I adore herbs.

I love your site! I’m already learning so much! Last year was my first time growing my own vegetables. We did pretty well. My husband built (2)4×8 raised beds in our backyard. We planted and enjoyed a variety of veggi’s. I’m looking forward to starting this year with some practical know how under my belt!

Watching the documentary FOOD, INC. has really inspired me to grow more food and take a more active role in my families nutrition. “You are what you eat”. Have been researching different varieties ALL day today and for the past few weeks. Have started seeds last week of Onions, Leeks,Artichokes, Cauliflower and this week will start Broccoli, Cabbage, Kohlrabi,Eggplants. Thanks! and so hoping to win your book!!! xoxo,Dana

Okay, here goes: I’m an avid amateur gardener and I’m easily inspired to try growing things in my garden–last year it was heirloom tomatoes, carrots and radishes.
I’m thinking of attempting corn this year.
My two young boys love watching the garden grow so I’m trying to think of fun and FAST things to grow for kids to eat–thankfully they are patient enough to wait for the tomatoes!
I’m sure your new book will inspire great ideas.

Chives! So easy to grow, so many ways to use them, and it is very easy to share the seeds with friends and family.

I attended the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Groups annual conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee in January. You talk about inspiration.

Although I have more ground to garden than a rooftop or patio, I am very inspired by Gayla, her books and website. I have given You Grow Girl to several friends and can’t wait for Grow Great Grub to be beside my bed.

So…Gayla you are my inspiration, along with the great instructors and fellow farmers/gardeners at Southern SAWG. Cover crops, high tunnels and possibly no till will have a new beginning on our farm this year…we’ll see how it goes!! Thanks for all your hard work!

I gather inspiration from this beautiful blog all summer (and fall and winter and spring!) long http://66squarefeet.blogspot.com/2009/08/july-31st-evening.html

so perfectly illustrates how much you can grow in a limited space.
