Thanks to everyone who emailed with their gift wish lists. It was interesting to see where the emails came from, and how varied readers' desires were.
MaryBeth from Shrewsbury, Mass., says she really wants a compost tumbler. I have one myself, and when I remember to spin it regularly, it cranks out a fine batch in less than 60 days.
Corris, from Newsday's Cheap Thrills blog, would like an AeroGrow Kit: "For some reason this amazes me, sort of like my Chia Pet I had in high school," she writes. "I can't stop watching the infomercial. I love it!"
Kylee Baumle, from Haviland, Ohio: "Hi Jessica! I just read your request for what a gardener would like for Christmas and here is one thing I want: Horticulture Magazine just published a DVD-ROM with ten years of their magazine en toto. Every article, every photograph, every everything that was in their magazine from 1997-2006. And it's indexed, too! This is one great gardening magazine from among several in publication and I would love to have this compendium for my library. I just drool over the thought of having all that good gardening information as well as personal gardening anecdotes that have been contained in their pages over the last ten years on one handy disc. Another something? A Mantis tiller. But realistically, I'm more likely to actually receive the DVD. LOL.
Mindee Brockmann, a New Yorker who's spending the year living in Rome, wants a $400 Majolica pot for her balcony.
