It’s that time of year when most of our areas designated for growing are either covered with a foot of snow or too wet to even think of stepping out to plant some seeds. What better time to collect information and start gathering seeds for a bountiful harvest in 2011! While many will be following the NFL on Sunday February 6th, there is a large group of Twitter users who love to toil in the soil and share their information with all who are willing to grow. I hope you will join us Sunday February 6 at #SuperSowSunday (Twitter) from 6:30 -8:30 P.m. ET. During that time you will connect with hundreds of gardeners from across the world and share planting tips, how-to sow, what seeds were successful and be able to ask questions to seed representatives from around the country.
I’m also excited to announce we have some wonderful companies who are participating and sponsoring a HUGE seed give-away. If you are not sure how to participate in a Twitter chat I would like to invite you to check out the official #gardenchat page where you will find information about HOW-TO participate and so much more.
We had so much fun last year with the #gardening gang on twitter including @getinthegarden @greensoil @uniquebydesign_ @TeeRiddle @4bratz2luv and so many more joined in the seed sharing fun. This chat continued way after the Super Bowl winners were announced!

re Super Sunday seeds give away etc on twitter. I don’t have a twitter account. Just FB. Wonder exactly how to participate in this event? It tells how to participate if one has a Twitter account.
Hi Brenda:
I am looking forward to being a part of your 2nd annual #SuperSowSunday. Last year was filled with such great information from gardeners everywhere! Connecting, sharing, chatting, talking seeds, toiling in the soil and laughing what more could you ask for.
Hi Bren! I can’t wait to be a part of #SuperSowSunday. Connecting and sharing….what better way to kick off the growing season! Honestly, whether you’re a seasoned or a novice gardener, it’s exciting to see them germinate. The real joy is when see a seedling nurtured to maturity. Ready, set, let’s plant some seeds
sounds like fun! I do hope to make it this year! I missed all the fun last year!
Sounds like this will be a blast Bren! Can’t wait!
Wow, this is sounding like it’s going and going and going like the energizer bunny!!! Can’t wait! @SolakNC
Brenda, I’m really looking forward to participating in #SuperSowSunday! Thank you!
A first for me. Calender is now marked for the occasion. : )
This sounds like a fun time. Something to do while the superbowl is on… I will run in to see the commercials. Looking forward to it!

Sow terrific! Bren, you’ve created yet another great online event!! As my Yes Man would say, “How do you do it?!?!” I still have one caveat…if this is going on during the Superbowl and the Steelers are playing, you might not hear from me. Seriously. Ok, maybe at half time…I’ve got a feeling, that I might want to miss the BEPs! It’s a football game people not a concert! LOL!
Thank you for the article, it was nice to learn something new about gardening.

So exicited about this event! We have a big Super Bowl party, and after the half time show the kids get restless. Sowing seeds will be a good activity for them. I cannot wait to get a little dirt under my fingernails. Great idea this #supersowsunday
This looks like it is going to be bigger than the Superbowl!
