Recently I asked the folks on Twitter which they would rather see, a design for a salsa garden, or something for a hummingbird garden? I was going to post the winner today, but unfortunately, the results were exactly tied. So, how about you all helping me decide which design to publish? The poll will close tonight at midnight, so there isn’t much time. I’ll publish the winning choice on Tuesday.

Update: The poll is closed, it looks like the hummers won! Check back on Tuesday for the hummingbird container design.
This week, I’ve been writing about container gardening activities you can do with your kids (or with your favorite kid-at-heart). Here are some more great ideas I found in the wild, wild, web.
- Sow and Grow
: The cover art alone made me want to buy this book, and I don’t even have any children of my own (yet). It is a book of gardening projects and activities–indoors and out–for parents to do with their children.
- 10 Ways to Fire Up Kids’ Imagination and Get Them Digging: The ideas highlighted in this article are fun, and not the same-ole-same-ole. Okay, #7 has been around the block a few times, but the rest are pretty fresh. The author is obviously and creative parent!
- Simple Container Gardening Project to Do With Kids: I liked how this project featured recycled containers that kids can decorate. Is there anything better than arts and crafts mixed with playing in the dirt for the under 10 set?
- Cute Idea for Keeping Kids Interested in Their Gardens: TreeHugger highlighted this story. Worst case scenario, parents will enjoy their kids mug on the tomato plant they are caring for in their kids’ absence.
- How to Create a Frog Pond: The Kids Garden website was full of fun ideas for gardening with kids, but I thought this one was especially interesting.
