Amy from Allentown, PA is the winner of the Sam’s Club Sunny Days Snack Pack. Congratulations Amy!

Often when I’m out in the garden I need a little something to tide me over until the weeding is done. Since Meadowwood Garden is not close to the house this meant stopping what I was doing, entering the house without tracking dirt all over, rummaging through the kitchen, etc. In other words, it was a bit of a pain in the rear.

Thanks to the fine folks at General Mills I finally have the solution to my garden snacking needs — Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars! Talk about a perfect snack for the situation — they are individually wrapped, easy to carry, taste great and they really seem to hit the spot. This is one of those times where you say to yourself, “Now why didn’t I think of that before?”

Would you like to try Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars for yourself? Meadowwood Garden is giving away a Sam’s Club Sunny Days Snack Pack to one lucky reader!

The first year of Meadowwood Garden I was consumed by this desire to have “perfect” garden conditions for my vegetable plants. Every day after setting out the transplants I diligently watered them. The transplants began to grow so I watered some more to give them an extra boost. Rain or shine, in sickness or health for the first three weeks I literally watered the garden every day.

About a week ago I ran a red light downtown while picking up my brother. This wasn’t a case of it being a close call or anything like that – I sailed through a light that had probably been solid red for a minute! I had no idea it happened until my brother shrieked, “RED [...]
