Here it is! Just what I promised! The newest Burpee Giveaway!
Recently, I received a pair of Burpee Herb Snips, and I immediately put them to good use. I've used them in the garden to cut herbs --
-- and I've used them in the kitchen to snip herbs for recipes I am preparing. (You can find some of these recipes on my new blog, An Herbal Bedfellow)
You can see here that I cut herbs from the garden to start the drying process.
These snips are great! The blade is sharp (and never needs sharpening) and the balance is very good. The handle is coated for a comfortable fit in your hand. The blades come apart, and it is completely dishwasher safe. There's even an herb stripper built in for stripping those tiny leaves like thyme from the stems.
I don't know what more you could want except some Burpee Herb Snips for yourself. Can you believe it, I have 6 of these to giveaway! Retail value: $9.95.
All you have to do is --
1. Go to the Burpee website
2. Click on the Gardening Supplies tab
3 Tell me in the comment window which of their products is most interesting to you.
4. Leave your e-mail address like this : pianananna(at)gmail(dot)com (this way you won't be prey to that evil spam monster) or show a link to your website displaying your e-mail address. Double check your profile to see if your address is showing. I need to find you if you are a winner.
You will be disqualified if you do not follow these simple rules.
This contest ends on Monday July 7 at 12:00 EDT. Winners will be drawn at random. Good Luck!!!!
7/3/08 This just in: Place a $30.00 order at Burpee.com and receive $5.00 off with this special code for Thyme for Herb readers only!!!

actually I'm just starting my own container garden this year. It's been a learning experience but oh what a great experience.
I've been looking at the Tomato Cages...so much sturdier than my flimsier ones!
Butterfly Bush Attraction is my fav

i like the klitchen suppplies
I really like the Kitchen Compost Pail. This would be great for my kitchen.
Those scissors look perfect for herbs! I wasn't even aware they made them!

Loving the Garden Hod. My 3 year old daughter is often with me in the garden and she will love it too.
gkstratos@ yahoo.com
I like the Burpee's Garden Hod - I am always trying to collect my peas in my kitchen bowls or my own hands and they are soon overflowing. This basket looks spacious AND it has the great bonus feature of being wire on the bottom so you can just run it under the facet to clean your veggies off without them getting waterlogged! Great idea! I do need the shears though - I just started an herb garden and have been resorting to use my craft scissors - gasp! ;)
Grow thru hoops plant supports. Sure could use those!
I stopped at the Burpee site and what a find. I ordered the bean and pea tower for the climatis vine I've got growing out of a 5 gallon pot on the front patio. What a well of information on the Burpee site I found so many wonderful items and useful tooo. I have been thinking of some time about a raised garden and after finding the exact garden on the Burpee site I'm ready to try my hand at a raised garden this season if I hurry. thanks for pointing out such an amazing site..Pam

Raised Bed Garden System is my favorite.
like the Kitchen Compost Pail, may have to buy one of those
I think the pea and cucumber fence looks interesting. I have planted cucumbers for the first time this year and they are running everyone and I think harvesting will be challenging. The fence would really help!
I like the Sea Magic!
I like the Raised Bed Garden System. I need this since I have pure sand in my yard, I can't grow a thing withou building a bed or putting it in a pot. I love these snips you are giving away too! I could see so many uses for them!
Butterfly Bush Attraction
I like the CobraHead weeder and cultivator. I've always wanted something like this, but those herb scissors are nice too. I really need a small pair of garden scissors for flowers and herbs, rather than taking my dull kitchen scissors out.
Jane Marie,
The cobrahead weeder/cultivator is the thing I'm lusting after!
I like the "Bye-Bye Birdie Reflective Tape." I'd love to be able to enjoy a few figs from my trees. As it is, I have to go out before the crack of dawn to get the ripe ones before the birds get at them. This stuff looks like it might do the trick. I'm willing to try anything.
This is so interesting, the Snap Bean Frencher; I had no idea such a thing existed! I remember sitting at the table with my grandmother as she taught me how to slick the beans.

I have always wanted a Kitchen Compost Pail and I was interested to see it at Burpee. Thanks for sharing this website with us and having this great giveaway!
Butterfly Bush Attraction
I love their selection of seeds.
The Grow Through plant supports would be great for my large perennials, like peonies. Thanks for the chance to win.
Sea Magic Organic Seaweed Growth Activator
I actually could use the seed sower!! Those snips look wonderful too. Right now I have chives, mint, oregano, dill, basil and thyme in the garden and have to use my kitchen shears to clip them. Not always the best thing!
I love the variety of seeds!
I never seem to be able to find a good garden scissor.I hope i win this one.
i want the seed sower!
The all-natural tomato and blossom spray. We are keeping our garden completely organic.
Jane Marie, I have 2 finds both books. Of course one has to have the zuchinni receipe book, and even though I don't grow it any more I am given lots. The other was one about using household items in the garden to make it easier and more 'lovely'. Sounds interesting and fun. Speaking of fun these give-a-ways are a lot of fun. Thanks!

We are going to be moving into a new home and I would love to have a herb garden this would be great
Jaleigh78@aol.com
I'd like to try the Raised Bed Garden System.
CobraHead weeder and cultivator is the one I like the best. Though the herb snips come a close second.
daphne(at)alum(dot)mit(dot)edu
With such a short growing season in idaho, I would love to try the raised bed garden system.
I could use the sturdy tomato cages
We are italian and love to cook with herbs, so an herb garden would be fantastic!
I have my eye on the CobraHead® Weeder and Cultivator. I think it would be great to get into cracks and between rocks.
I think the flower web is great. It is always hard to keep the flowers where you want in a vase.
I like the adirondack chair, looks so comfortable!
I love the Pea and Bean tower great idea for a small space
The Pepper and Eggplant Supports. I never knew that they made such a thing.
The Pole Bean and Pea tower is very cool. Looks every bit as sturdy as the bamboo teepees I put up.
I just posted but it didn't come up so here goes again - I'll be ordering the kneeler-sitter for my sister (who has again knees like me) but I hope I win the herb snips. Mine are doing a crummy job!
mbsimm(at)gmail(dot)com
I would love to try the snap bean frencher- our beans are coming as I write! The herb snippers look great ,too- thanks for the give away!!
I REALLY love the Wall O' Water. That is the most unique thing I have ever seen! If I could buy it, it would help with the ever changing Texas weather!
orchestratenosie0726(at)yahoo(dot)com
Oh My goodness, The tomato cages!. I just was looking for them and every store in town has been cleaned out, so obviouly THey are quite interesting
Hi Jane Marie!
A giveaway ~ what a delight (and I could so use those garden snips for all this mint :). Loved looking at the Burpee site, although it is a bit dangerous for my wallet. I'd love to get that electric soil tester because a couple of my veggie bads have not been producing as much as I'd like this year. Hope you have a wonderful July 4th weekend! Lots of hugs, Bebe :)
So many interesting things. I love the Tomato Towers and the Pepper and Eggplant Supports. We have had so much rain and wind it seems like everything is lying on its side.
willitara(at)gmail(dot)com
The herb snippers look great! I am using an old pair of kitchen scissors that don't work very well.
I like the Raised Bed Garden System! It looks so easy!
onlycancan at hotmail dot com
I'm really considering buying the raised bed garden system for next year's garden!
The Sea Magic Growth Activator sounds like something I'd like to try.

I like the garden trellis netting. It should be good for sweet pea flowers as well as climbing veggies. Thanks for such a useful giveaway.

I would like the Hummingbird complete garden kit. I have alot of hummingbirds and planting flowers they like might even attract more.

Gardening is my favorite pasttiime, but it is getting somewhat harder due to my multiple sclerosis. During my search for my favorite product, I was loking for something that would help me out and make things a little easier. I was tossed between the raised bed garden system and the grow-through hoop plant supports. thank for the contest.

I loved the Deluxe Glow n Grow Light Garden. My back doesn't allow me to bend too far. This would be great for inside. Please enter me, thank you
The Raised Bed Gardening System looks interesting. garrettsambo@aol.com
I can never seem to keep ahead of the weeds in my garden. The CobraHead weeder and cultivator would be helpful.
I'd love the electric soil tester--this is our first year in our new house, and it would be good to know more about what the garden needs.
jodi_nh(at)hotmail(dot)com
I like the bean and pea tower, I could use it for other trailing vines I have around.
thanks-
twincapes(at)hotmail(dot)com
I like the sturdy Tomato Cages that are unfortunately not in stock at the moment. But then I saw the Tomato Towers. These are much better suited to our smaller growing area. They would be perfect!! Thanks for the chance to win the snips!
I like the Raised bed gardening system.
The Kitchen Compost Pail would be the ultimate addition to my kitchen.
I'd love the electric soil tester!
I could use some new gardening gloves, so they are the first thing that caught my eye. See google id for contact info.
I like the CobraHead Weeder/Cultivator, can really use one of those!
Garden Trellis Netting - I'm trying the hanging tomato planter now, and it is just NOT WORKING. I need a trellis!
I like the weeder cultivater
Love the Teak Adirondack Furniture. It's beautiful!
I really like the Garden Trellis netting. What a great idea. We have a homemade trellis for our beans, and boy is it showing it's age. After a few summers, it's tilted and crooked, it's a relief when the beans are finally covering the thing! The net is such a clever idea. Thanks!
The cobrahead weeder/cultivator looks great!
I like the raised bed garden system.
The Pole Bean & Pea Tower would be nice! Thanks for the contest!

Raised Bed Garden System :)
I love the snips and can use them.
I actually have some beans growing without support so I was interested in the Pole Bean & Pea Tower. It looks like it would work without taking up space.
I love the Recipes From The Garden cookbook!
I am really interested in Burpee's tomato cages. In fact, if they weren't out of stock I would be placing an order today! Our tomato plants always grow so tall and large. These would be perfect, and I like that they even have an extender available. Would love to try these snips- thanks!
I think the Tomato Tower is a great idea!
kohndr@gmail.com
I like the Complete Hummingbird Garden Kit. I love hummers, they are the most wonderous and beautiful creatures!
I like the Bean and Pea Tower.
I love the Fresh Cut Salad Knife - just the thing for great summer salads!
