    Looking forward to your series! Almost as much as I am looking forward to my first strawberries in my newest raised bed! Free baby strawberry plants from my neighbor, in my new Gardeners Source raised bed that I got for $4 (new in the box) from a church sale! I planted them in the fall so I can harvest in a few months. Thanks for the giveaway Manuela!

  26. Kim says

    I am so anxious for the gardening season to begin and will be stopping by to read your gardening series. It’s so nice of you to do this giveaway and I’d love to be entered. I started a small organic vegetable garden a few years ago, but have been a bit disappointed in the yield so far. I think this book just might be the answer to my problems :).

  34. kristel says

    I am doing my first garden as an adult. My father taught me when I was very young to have my own garden so i can eat and how to raise chickens and ducks. but my father is in heaven and Im gonna try this on my own and see how it comes out. Lets hope I remember all the things he once taught me lol.

  35. kim/nannykim says

    Well, I will put my name in for it even though I am not gardening. If I win I will give it to my daughter who loves to garden. Hmmm…..awaiting Friday and the foyer.

  38. Jan Davis says

    Manuela, how very kind of you! Please enter my name in the drawing, as it would thrill me to pieces to win such a great gardening book. The pictures of your garden, as well as those of your lovely home, inspire me immensely. It was 70 degrees today here in the deep South…perfect weather for starting a garden or just daydreaming about one. Since I don’t have a Kindle (looking sad), nothing would make me happier than receiving a package in the mail from Amazon. Looking forward to seeing your foyer on Friday. Thanks again for your inspiring emails. ~ Jan

  39. Jodie Lynch says

    I just planted a bunch of seeds. I’ve never done seeds before. Really excited to see what actually comes up. Would love to grow an avocado tree.

  40. Valerie says

    I can’t WAIT until spring! My new house has a large raised bed in the back just waiting for me to start a lovely vegetable garden. This book would be an outstanding addition to my library and would get a ton of use.

  42. Laurie says

    I’m beginning to plan my garden and would love to win a copy of the book and I look forward to your posts and seeing your garden progress.

  45. cindy says

    I would love to have the hard copy of this book. I find myself doing more and more vegetable gardening every year. I really enjoy it so much and the veges are so delicious.
    Hugs, Cindy

  46. Jenny says

    One can never have too many gardening books. And Spring is right around the corner. Oh, and if I win,or should I be positive and say when I win, I would prefer a hardback since I don’t own a reader. And thanks for doing a give away. They’re a lot fun even if you don’t win. Oh the suspense!
    Jenny

  48. Carolyn Maves says

    I would love to win a hard copy of this garden book. I have been planting vegetable gardens for more than 30 years and feel that I learn something new each year. Thanks.

  49. Jennifer says

    I am so ready for garden season. A hard copy of this book is just what I need. =) Hopefully Audley is starting my raised beds tis weekend. I can’t wait.

  50. Linda A. Young says

    Is it that time already? Guess it is! I’m starting over this year, having moved away from my old garden! This book will be a big help , as I face challenges of the small space, living in a mobile home park. but I must grow some veggies and herbs! Thank you for this special giveaway!
    Blessings!
    Linda

  51. Elizabeth says

    So I’ve been thinking about starting my own little garden this summer.
    My husband is an avid gardener, but I’ve always left all the work to him (and the eating to me).
    I would love to have this book to help me get started.
    Thanks for entering my name!

  52. Jill says

    My yard is the size of a postage stamp. I’d love to win this book. Barbara Pleasant writes such great columns for Mother Earth News!

  56. Kyle says

    I would love to win this book! I want this to be the spring and summer that I finally have a vegetable garden, so I can stop purchasing expensive veggies from the supermarket.
    Thank you!

  57. gogardengirl - Renee M says

    Wow! This would be a terrific book to share with my new garden club. I am a second grade teacher and each year my students have planted a small garden outside the classroom. We grow veggies that will be ready in September/October then the next year’s class harvests the garden and prepares a hearty soup and invites the now third grade students back to share in the meal. They enjoy learning and being part of the entire cycle.

    Many students have indicated that they are interested in having a garden at home so this year, we began an after-school garden club. This book looks like a wonderful resource for the club as we help kiddos to build their first gardens at home. I would love to have a copy to share.. 🙂

  58. Nancy says

    Hi Manuela,

    Please enter me in the giveaway. I am so excited to know you are starting a gardening for beginners series! This will be my first foray into growing my own veggies–can’t wait to get started! Thank you!

  59. Heather :) :) :) says

    I found this blogpost via the The Farmgirl Friday link-up 🙂 🙂 I LOVE the title of your blog 🙂 🙂 Oh, and that book sounds like a great giveaway 🙂 🙂 Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 🙂

  61. Pat says

    Oh yes! please enter my name in your drawing. I gardened this year for the first time in many years and I feel like such a beginner. I need to learn so much more. I’m finding that I’m learning best by doing…but I can carry a book with me (unlike my computer) around with me and I can read it on the go.
    thanks in advance for hosting this giveaway…

  65. Candi says

    Hi Manuela!

    Please enter my name in the drawing! I need ALL of the help I can get as I am a beginner also 😉 I am so looking forward to your series on gardening 😀 Thank you for hosting this giveaway!

    Sincerely,
    Candi

  66. Debbie says

    I made it in time! Woohooo! I’m having to use a borrowed clunker until my computer gets better so I almost missed this. I will look forward to your series because I sure could use the help.

  68. Deborah M says

    I’m looking forward to your series! I just bought my first house and can’t wait to start my garden!

  69. DFW says

    This is my first year at starting everything from seed. All Heirloom as well. I’m sure this book will come in handy. And, I’ll share it with my friend who is gardening for the first time ever.

  70. Pajama Quilter says

    I’ve been working HARD at gardening for the last couple of years. Last year I started growing herbs. I am totally in a learning mode and would love to read and have this book.

    Thanks!

  71. Rin says

    Hi Manuela!
    I am going to try starting a garden again this year! I tried a few years ago, but I didn’t have a guide to help. Needless to say, my squash didn’t make fruit. I would love to receive the book in hard copy format, then I could pass it around to my friends after I’m done, too! Have a wonderful Saturday!

  72. Anonymous says

    I bought a copy of this book yesterday at B&N and absolutely ADORE it. I just discovered your fabulous blog today and voila you’re giving away the same book! Too much coincidence for me not to become an avid follower of A Cultivated Nest! Thanks Manuela!

    Blessings! Linda

  73. Debbie says

    Have a great weekend and I’ll be in touch!

    Hello Manuela!
    Thanks so much for hosting such a great giveaway. This books looks perfect and would be a wonderful addition to the library. I am still learning gardening and could use all the help I could get 🙂 I don’t have a kindle or nook so hard copy would work best for me.
