It doesn't seem three years since I started this blog, it just goes to show how quickly time slips by.
As is now usual on my blog anniversaries, I am running a giveaway to thank all my readers, new and old, for their visits to my blog, and for the many wonderful comments you all continue to leave. I really do appreciate the time you take to read my ramblings and for all the support you continue to give by way of commenting. It doesn't matter how many years I blog for, I don't think the thrill of having another comment left for me will ever fade.
The prize I am offering is a Paper Potter, ideal for this time of year when seeds are being sown. It's really handy to be able to make pots from old newspapers, cost effective, and good for the environment too. I am also offering a Collins Nature Guide Wild Flowers of Britain and Europe book. This is ideal to take along on walks as any flowers you come across can be easily identified.
To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment on this blog post and I will pick a winner at random on the 15th April 2012.
The schools have now broken up for Easter, and although the weather was forecast to break this weekend, we've still had some sunny days though noticably cooler. I'm hoping to get lots more jobs done in the garden and at the allotment so I'm hoping that the weather doesn't change too much over the next fortnight.
It just remains for me to wish you all a very happy Easter.
I can't believe you have been blogging for three years - you manage to keep your posts fresh and interesting. I only hope I have the stamina to carry on for as long. It's also nice that you keep commenting on other peoples' blogs in such an encouraging way. Well done you.
ReplyDeleteHaving read what you've got sown over the last week whilst we were away enjoying ourselves in Scotland I suddenly feel a bit behind. Looking at this weeks weather forecast I might get even more behind. That list of brassicas is impressive and I've really got to get round to planting some early potatoes in bags.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway, please count me in! Your posts are always interesting, I hope I've still got something to say after 3 years :)
ReplyDeleteThis blog has been such an inspiration to me. I've started a veg plot for the first time this year! I'm really looking forward to seeing all the wonderful veg you produce this year, and hope mine are somewhere close to edible!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree with your feelings about the people who take time to leave comments on blog posts. Every time a new comment pops up it's like receiving a letter from a friend. It's exciting to inherit a new commenter or follower but I wouldn't be without those who have been around for a while. As Liz another blogger who is having a blogiversary commented in her blog - would we stick around for as long if we felt no-one out there was interested?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't time fly when you are having fun Jo? Many, many congratulations on your blog's three years. Long may we continue to read :)
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary Jo! Chilly nights ahead, just seen -7 mentioned on one forecast so the fleeces have been deployed just in case.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Always an inspiring read, thank you for all your hard work in keeping us informed and entertained!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on your blogs 3rd anniversary.
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love reading what you're up to and what you've chosen to plant.
I'm worried I'm a little behind this year and I'm hoping the predicted frost doesn't delay me any more.

Dear Jo, Happy blogaversary! Have we been blog-friends for 3 years already? Don't include me in the drawing as I won a couple of years ago ... You are very generous. I hope you have wonderful Easter weather. P. x
ReplyDeleteThree years! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about getting comments, and must thank you because you are so generous with yours.
Congratulations on the 3 years. I feel honoured that our blogs have the same birthday (even if mine is a comparative baby). Don't worry about including me in the competition but I did want to say I'm happy birthday and I'm glad I've discovered your blog, albeit 3 years into its life...
ReplyDeleteGoodness three years already, and well done! I've always enjoyed your blog, and commenting on it, so long may it continue.
ReplyDeleteKindly don't include me in the giveaway as I don't use pots and I have the book! Flighty xx
I've loved visiting your blog and seeing what you're growing, and look forward to reading it in the future too.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary, and thankyou for such a lovely and generous giveaway opportunity.
Hoping for nice weather for the Easter holidays too, we could do with some wet stuff but at night when we're asleep!
Happy Easter x
Happy Blog anniversary Jo - has it really been that long - time passes so very quickly doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteI gain so much practical knowledge and inspiration on each visit over here and you are so generous with your giveaways. Thank you.
Let's hope we get some nice sunny days again over Easter!

congrates on your 3rd year I have been blogging for 6 months now and am totaly hooked and love reading everyones comments and getting great ideas from everone.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! We've been doing pretty much the same on our allotment, so much to do! What a lovely giveaway, I'd love to be included, thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, congrats on your three years. I have never done anything like this...maybe I should though not sure what I would give away. Glad you enjoy your blogging as much as your gardening and so happy that you visit me on a regular basis too.
ReplyDeleteGosh three years already - time really flies - and what progress you have made. Brilliant
ReplyDeleteHi Jo - congratulations on three years, time flys so quickly. Your sowing looks impressive, I'm catching up now with a bit more to do yet but the weather in Kent has turned chilly + wet! Happy Easter to you all. Amanda x
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, For some reason I missed this post. Need to check my wordpress update is working. Well done on blogging for 3 years and what a great idea for a giveaway. I'd love to be included in the draw. Just done my first wildflower survey and those paper pots would certainly help with my plastic free gardening challenge. Hope you've managed to get out and do some Easter gardening.
ReplyDeleteI too feel woefully inadequate compared to such industry.
ReplyDeleteWell done on achieving 3 years, here's to the next 3.
Claire
you have a lovely blog =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your three year anniversary Jo! After only a year myself I know how much hard work and time goes into both writing material and keeping everything fresh and exciting. Well done to you on both parts and I look forward to more posts from you for the next three years (and beyond) :)
ReplyDeleteHappy blog anniversary! Time flies when your having fun, as they say! My blog will be coming up to two years. I really enjoy your updates and look forward to many more posts to come!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on blogging for 3 years! I realise I've just past my second anniversary. christina
