Photo Contest

Send us your high quality digital photos.

We need photos to not only help fill in the catalog, but to show off what everyone has been growing. Even if there is already a photo in our catalog we would much rather have an actual customer photo. Send in your photo. If we use it we will credit your name on the photo and you will also be entered in our contest to win a $100 gift certificate good for any of our products.

All names will be entered in a drawing to be held May 16th and November 16th (Spring and Fall contests). To be notified please include your phone number in your email or we can just email you, but it is more fun to talk to ya! By sending us your photo you are giving us permission to edit the photo and to use it on any of our webs and paper materials such as catalogs or brochures.

 

Past Photo Contest Winners

Ethan Wilson from San Diego California who is 11 years old won this spring season's photo contest.

Ethan sent us this photo of Mammoth Melting Pea.

Ethan's Dad shares his story....

"The idea of a family garden is a seed that was planted in our family three years ago. It attempted to sprout in our small San Diego yard several times, but had trouble taking off until the thought bloomed with Ethan's mom "This could become a homeschool science project!" She challenged them to stake a claim of earth, research various seeds and soils, and have fun discovering what they could produce. Ethan and his brother and sisters took the idea and ran with it. Each of them rustled through the collection of Sustainable Seeds, chose their favorite vegetables and herbs, and began sprouting, tending, watching, and waiting. Eleven year old Ethan has developed a personal interest that extended beyond a scholastic pursuit, taking time to study soils, seasons, and gardening systems, working to make his backyard garden bountiful. He and his brothers and sisters have been especially excited about the peas, pumpkins, potatoes, cilantro, zucchini, and carrots this year."

I see on your web page that you have pencil cob seeds for sale which is great. My dad used to plant this corn when I was just a boy and I am 61 now and my father passed away several years ago . But I will have to disagree with you on the height that the pencil cob gets because everytime we planted it at home it grew to eight to ten feet tall at least and I am not joking. My dad kept two kinds of the pencil for me when he passed away and one kind grew ears that were around eight to nine inches long , called the short ears and the other seed of pencil cob grew ears that were twelve to thirteen inches long , called the long ears and I still have them in a jar in the freezer. Just glad you still have it in stock because we always liked the flavor of this corn compared to other corn . Langley Joyner Concord, N.C. ljoyner5@carolina.rr.com

That is awesome! Way to go Ethan! It is great to see children getting involved with growing their own food...I wish I had more exposure to this as a child but better late than never.

That is a great story. My 11 year old grandson asked for a garden for his birthday in December and got it this spring. Must be the right age.
