Authors in Bloom Giveaway Hop: Grand Prize, Kindle or Nook, Plus $25 Gift Card



A Little Gardening Tip

Hello and welcome to my little gardening patch on the Authors in Bloom blog hop! My gardening tip actually pertains more to houseplants than to actual gardens, though it could probably apply there as well! And it is this: ween. Whenever you see leaves that are yellowed, dried out, or both, pull them off. This not only makes the plant look nicer without all that dead stuff on it, but it also allows the plant to grow more. Kind of like trimming your hair to get rid of split ends so it will grow!

Contest Time!

For the giveaway, I will be offering to one lucky commenter an e-copy of my book, Sloane Wolf. This contest is open internationally. Good luck!




Grand prize:
Ereader (Kindle or Nook) and $25 gift card (Amazon or Barnes & Noble).

On to the hop!

    As for gardening I have a willow tree out front and I keep having issues with 2 of the branches I'm debating removing both and hoping my tree will flourish more.
