a give away!! - guess how many red chilis and win seed packet necklace

I'm excited to give something to my readers. I've gotten a lot from everyone: ideas, advice, friendship and just the pleasure of chatting about gardens. I hope I give gardeners information and encouragement, especially new gardeners. Maybe even inspiration. I think it's important that we're close to the earth and find simple ways to do things. And it's so rewarding to grow food.

Anyway, I was given a beautiful "seed packet" necklace by Shari Dixon. She's an artist who incorporates flowers and herbs into her hand crafted jewelry. My pendent is a camomile seed packet and I love it!

Shari gave me three seed packet necklaces to give away. SO, we need a contest! To stay on the topic of gifts, yesterday I posted a picture of a bowl of dried red chilis that I plan to give as gifts.

How many chilis are in the bowl??

The three seed packet necklaces will go to the three people who guess closest to the actual number. Just reply to this post with your guess and I'll post the winners in one week - Sat, Nov 29. Sorry, USA only and one guess per person.

    The necklaces are so pretty and I'm always so jealous of your harvests!

    I'm guessing... 68.

    432 - I always plant too many cheyennes! But they're so useful! I've never used 'em in pepper jelly, but it's now in mind for next year...

    Those necklaces are so beautiful!

    You are an inspiration to me, by the way. I don't live somewhere I could have an outdoor garden and I don't get enough light through my windows to keep many plants happy. But SOMEDAY I'm going to have a garden and until that happens, I'm learning as much as I can by reading blogs like yours!! Thanks so much for the opportunity to "lurk" around and watch what to do when I get my own patch of earth. :)

    As a wild guess on those red peppers, I'm throwing out the number: 133.

    Oh my. Everyone is so competitive!

    My husband and I just counted the chiles and we each guessed before. Just for the record, I was off by 50 chilis and he was off by 2!!! Arrgh. He is strutting around the house now... Maybe we need a recount.
