The winners of the t-shirts from our Two-Wheel Farmer giveaway are Colleen Maki, who said in response to our query, “send me one of your tried-and-true household or garden tips” …

“To get rid of pesky weeds, pour simple BOILING WATER over the weed, and it’s like magic … gone in no time at all!”

and Cheryl Stanley, who said …

“I like to grow milkweed for the monarch butterflies. They are the true meaning of summer for me in Indiana. I had never seen one before 2011, when I moved here. This year, I have been collecting a lot of seeds and learned about herbalism. I made my first goldenrod infusion. So exciting! I love your magazine and all the support of farmlife and women.”

Congratulations, Colleen and Cheryl! Watch for an email from the farm.

Thank you to all the women who responded with such lovely comments. I thoroughly enjoyed reading them!

The winner of the salt & pepper set from our Autumn Leaf China giveaway is Julie Fanter, who said in response to our query, “share with me something you’ve found useful in my magazine (or if you have a connection to the Autumn Leaf dinnerware, like I do, please share that)” …

“Just received today’s issue in the mail. Turned the page and couldn’t believe my eyes! My parents received the small serving bowl as a wedding present in 1951. I have since found the 2 larger bowls and would love to add to the collection. How fun!!”

and the dish-drainer quilt goes to Annette Garner, who says …

“I have been collecting Autumn Leaf for over 20 years. My sister does as well, and we enjoy looking for finds when we are out and about. We especially enjoy using Autumn Leaf on holidays with large family gatherings. Put my name in the hat for a chance to win an Autumn Leaf dish drainer quilt or a salt and pepper shaker set. I really enjoy MaryJanesFarm magazine, especially the recipes.”

Congratulations, Julie and Annette! Watch for an email from the farm.
