I had *so much fun* reading the comments to the Baker Creek Seed giveaway. I kept wanting to reply to the comments “OH ME TOO!” or “What a great idea—I’m swiping that one right out from under you!” But alas, I knew it would mess with the counting for the winner…and me and math have a long and troublesome history.
So let’s get on with it.
{Right after this little warning to the winner.}
I’ve heard that when people win the Powerball, everyone they’ve ever known comes out of the woodwork asking for handouts/rent/scholarships/new shoes/grocery money or scholarships for new shoes.
It’s going to be the same for you, oh Baker Creek seed giveaway winner.
Now: I am to be trusted. I will *not* give away your email address to the other 53 people who entered this contest. But they will find you. They will use your first name and track you down. And it won’t be for rent money, new shoes, or a scholarship…it will be for seeds.
Stay strong. Be selfish. You have rightfully won.
You cheer loud and strong and ignore the pleas of mercy from the unlucky ones.
Ok, now I promise I’m really going to draw…I asked Siri for some help, and she was happy to oblige. {This is in direct opposition to her penchant for arguing with me about the best way out of my neighborhood.}
So: congratulations to Eric Klekamp!
And also: oh no, Eric Klekamp! You wrote your last name in the field! Why not just Eric! Why not Eric K! You won’t be able to rest because now you will be so. much. easier. for the ravenous seed hoard to track down. Stay strong, Eric Klekamp. Surely they won’t hurt you too badly; they’re probably very nice. They probably recycle.
{And hey, uh, Eric–have I mentioned I’ve been dying to try growing some Belgian endive??}
Juuust kidding. Sort of.
Thanks to Baker Creek Seed Company for this fun giveaway, and if you haven’t signed up for their free catalog yet you can do so here.

Congrats, Eric! And I’m off to email you…
