As I said when I announced the free book, one of the commenters would be chosen randomly to receive a copy of The Truth About Garden Remedies. I took a page from Pioneer Woman‘s book and used the generator at random.org. to pick the winning comment. All the comments are numbered as they are received, and comment number 4 was chosen by the random number generator. That was Dee’s comment.
Enjoy, Dee!
Join us tomorrow when Jeff Gillman shows us how to analyze a new gardening gadget for the truth of its claims.

Kathy Purdy discovered the joys of writing in fourth grade, when she started corresponding with a former classmate. She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. •

For the uninitiated, the reality of what it takes to create and maintain a great-looking garden appears to be an endless string of tiresome tasks and dirty jobs. But true gardeners know that the real fun of gardening in in the process--the planning, the planting, the nurturing, and the learning.

Gosh, Kathy. I’m thrilled! I love that random generator. I thought most of the other comments were more erudite than mine. Wouldn’t you know? I’m random.~~Dee
