Mavis Mail – Send Pictures of Your Garden For a Chance to Win a $20 Amazon Gift Card

Alright lovely readers, who has some garden pictures you’ve just been dying to share with me? And who wants a $20 gift card to Amazon? I realize your gardens might look a little shabby right now {all of ours do, it’s just that time of year!}, but that’s no reason not to snap some pics and show me your progress {and a $20 Amazon gift card is a great incentive, right?!}.

I want to see what you are doing in your backyards {or indoors even!}. I love my garden, but sometimes I really get sick of looking at it. So I want to see yours! Here are some of the coolest ones that have been submitted by you guys:

Square Inch Gardening in New York

Harlem, New Yorker, Holly, proves space isn’t an excuse when it comes to gardening. They have a tiny back porch off of their apartment and they put every last square inch to good garden use!

Amazing Bean Trellis and Garden Box Photos:

I don’t like to pick favorites, but this picture might be my favorite of all your submissions. That bean trellis is simply gorgeous. I totally want one. But even more I love how Heather’s daughter is so content under it, chewing on beans that it produced. Love it!

Texas Cinder Block Garden:

Lindsey’s unique cinder block garden totally caught my attention. What a great idea for garden bed containers! Plus she has some beautiful chickens and a chicken coop I’m envious of.

Vertical Fence Board Strawberry Tower and Garden:

April invented the coolest vertical gardening tower ever. Using old fence boards she grew a successful strawberry plant vertically. Perfect when you’re short on space.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

• Your Garden Pictures and Tips – I’d especially like to see your garden set ups, growing areas, and know if you are starting seeds indoors this year. If so, show me some picture of how you are going about it.
• Your Chicken and Chicken Related Stories – Coops, Chicks, Hen’s, Roosters, Eggs, you name it. If it clucks, send us some pictures to share with the world.

If I feature your pictures and the stories behind them on One Hundred Dollars a Month, I will send you a $20 gift card to the greatest store in the world: Amazon.com {take some deep breaths and contain your excitement}.

Things to keep in mind when you send me your stuff:

1. I have major OCD. You do not have to be a professional photographer, but your photos do need to be clear and well lit or I won’t be able to use them.
2. All photos must be original, and they must have been taken by YOU.
3. I won’t be able to use or get back to everyone–but just assume that whatever you sent in was awesome.
4. Be sure to include a little information about yourself, like how long you’ve been gardening, raising chickens, ect. Also, please include your name and what state or country you are from.
5. If you have a blog and would like me to link back to it, please let me know, I’d be happy too.
6. Ideally I’d prefer at least 5 pictures per submission, but the more the merrier just in case I do not select them all.

Okay, peeps, that about covers it. Whether you submit something or not, I think you’re all amazing just for being part of our little One Hundred Dollars a Month family. Thanks for reading, sharing, commenting and emailing. I could have never imagined when I started this blog back in 2009 it would have turned into what it is today. You.Are.Awesome.
