Dear Lydia,
This is your tea plant talking. You won me! Please contact Annette since she’s not very good at growing things in pots. If she doesn’t hear from you by Friday she’ll do another random drawing for me.
Sincerely,

Just ‘discovered’ you on the front of today’s Times……you are an inspiration! I too fell in love with your ideals after reading Barbara K., but have so far done nothing with the knowledge. Change is afoot! Thankyou!!
Hi Juliet! I remember feeling really deflated after reading her book thinking I could never move to 40 acres of farmland. There is so much you can do though – I’m so glad you are scheming! I went to hear Joel Salatin talk this spring and he said the #1 thing you can do to change the food system is to opt out of it. I think any steps you can take are empowering, no matter how humble.
Hey Annette,
I just read the inspiring article about you in the Times and I’m excited to learn we are both members of the Sustainable Northeast Seattle network! I look forward to meeting you someday and hopefully getting a peek at your luscious garden.
By the way, I’ve always wanted a tea plant. Has that person claimed it yet?
I am awed by your hard work and beautiful gardens. We have started to renew our gardening interest and your article in the Times is spurring us onward.
I too would love to peek at your gardens!

I love tea, and am quite interested in planting a tea shrub after reading your blog about the one flourishing in your Seattle home….so, if you don’t locate the tea winner, give me a holler if you want to get the shrub off your hands!!
Thanks for being a source of inspiration!
Linda – I’ll be having a fall/winter garden tour once I’ve gotten the summer crops down to manageable size and the winter ones are going.
Marsha I’m so glad! I hope to be responsible for the destruction of much lawn…
Bevin I’ll be doing another random drawing tonight so go ahead and find the tea drawing entry and leave a comment on it to be entered.
