If you subscribe to our wonderful gardening newsletters, you may have participated in this particular contest. We wanted to know what you were never, ever going to do in your garden again. I was lucky enough to be among the elite few selected to judge this particular contest. I based my choices on: 1. Helpfulness to other gardeners, and 2. Quality of the submission. I am partial to funny entries.
Below, I will list a few of my personal favorites – votes won't be tallied until this weekend, and my vote is only one of many, so I can't promise that any of the ones I list will win. But, I will announce the official results next week.

sprouts sunflowers on a daily basis!
