Bethany H. Lowell, who commented:
“I LOVE GARLIC!!! The last thing my boys (aspiring chefs at ages 12 and 10) and I made was garlic, brown sugar crispy-ish chicken wings. We added a touch of red pepper flakes and white ground pepper for zing! We all enjoy our hard-copy subscription and we thank you for very literally EVERYTHING in each issue!”

Congratulations, Bethany! Watch for an email from the farm.

The winner of our “Circle Gardening” giveaway is …

Lily Herndon Weaks, who commented:
“For our South Carolina garden I love Chantenay Red Core Carrots, a short, blunt, beautifully deep colored carrot that works in all sorts of soils, even our dreaded clay! It is an heirloom introduced from France in the late 1800’s. We get our seed from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, an amazing organization that works to save heirloom seeds, providing the varieties that work best for our region and sources them from small growers all over the south.”

The winner of our Sweet Lena Iris giveaway is:

Gerri Leigh, who commented:
“I actually prefer not to get flowers for Valentine’s Day … unless they come in a pot with dirt and can be transplanted in the spring! I do have a soft spot for Iris though. They were my grandfather’s favorite and he was my favorite person until I had children.”

In the Apr/May 2019 issue of MaryJanesFarm, “Possibilities” (on newsstands March 5), I led you here to my journal for a chance to win one of three FREE adjustable ziplock bag stands to help with your life easier when it comes to freezer storage. Ashley said, “Prior to adding this handy gadget to my kitchen, filling bags with soup was a production that involved two people—one person held the bag open and kept the contents from spilling out while the other filled. This little stand makes filling bags solo a breeze.”

For a chance to win, tell me what your favorite homemade soup is (and share the recipe if you’re inclined) in the comments below. I’ll toss your name into a hat and draw a lucky winner sometime mid-May.

“I wish I made better soup because I really like about every kind … the best one I have ever made was the chicken noodle soup … a recipe from your magazine!!!”

Donna Marie, who commented:
“New England clam chowder!”

Pauline Taylor, who commented:
“My favorite soup is Turkey soup, it is made twice a year with any left overs from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. I boil the left over turkey carcass in a stock pot of water until the meat falls off the bones. I pour it through a colander, add the ” broth” back into the stock pot, with all the meat minus the skin and bones. Then I open my fridge and add any leftovers like mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, etc. and barley. Once the barley’s done, it’s ready to eat.”

Michelle Kirby, who commented:
“Amelia Mae Kirby”

Becci Bartz, who commented:
“I have to name my animals (that are meant for food on our table) names that remind me not to make pets out of them. For example, our pig was named ‘Dinner.’ I think I would name her Milk Maiden, not that we would end up eating her for dinner some night, like all the others are destined for, but because I think it’s a cute name.”

Kelley, who commented:
“I would call my Moo-N cow Lucky! I am the luckiest grandma to twin baby girls! My son and his wife chose to foster and my girls are the sweetest, luckiest girls on the planet! ”
