****************
When I think of spring, I think of flowers, so when I got the chance to review the Princess Castle Greenhouse, I figured it was a great opportunity to teach my four-year-old a little about plants. We opened the box & easily got it all set up. The instructions were very easy to follow which I appreciated! Mikenah was so excited, she was giggling while we were pouring the dirt into the cups. She loved that it had princess plant markers. Once we got everything done, she was ready for the flowers to grow. Like NOW!
It only took a few days and the first sprouts were poking out of the dirt. Mikenah was very excited to see her flowers popping up! This is where it went wrong. The problem wasn’t that the greenhouse or the flowers were faulty. But the problem is that I have a “black thumb”. 🙁 I kill most plants & so it didn’t surprise me that these died too. I’m thinking we over-watered them, but I’m not sure.
I do recommend this greenhouse for a fun way to teach little ones about plants. Mikenah loved the princess theme & she had fun planting her seeds. I think when we do it again, I will be more careful with watering & maybe transfer them outdoors sooner.
The Miracle Gro Princess Castle Greenhouse retails for $12.99. For more information visit www.Peachtreeplaythings.com

I love the Gravity gro station, will have to pick one of these up for my sweet Ana. These are soo cool…:)
I like Giveaway Tools, probably better! I really like that you can’t submit most/certain entries unless they have really been completed!
My neice would also love the Pixie Hollow Greenhouse!
Giveaway Tools vs. Rafflecopter: I like them both. For a blogger, it’s a good feature that Giveaway Tools confirms entries.
I like the Mickey Mouse Greenhouse.
I like that they’ve included kids in the gardening process – to get them to understand that food doesn’t magically appear on store shelves, and that they’ve got nice recipes for the kids as well.
I like the kids vegetable greenhouse.
I like that they have kid recipes
I like the Rafflecopter better, only because it shows if I’m already following someone on twitter or not. The giveaway tool doesn’t. and I need to know because I’m at my following limit.
I like the miracle grow kids flower terratium
I like them both. Tools isn’t bad, and some entries are confirmed for the blogger.
I like either way. They are both very easy actually. thanks
I like the pixie hollow, too!
I never knew that miracle grow made kids products, I like the recipe section on the Site, the one for he kids smoothies sounds great to try. Thanks. sewitupjulie@gmail.com

I had no idea Miracle Grow had a line of products like this geared toward kids. I think it’s great, and they have some cute activities on their site as well.
I love that they have great kids recipes
I like their kid’s veggie terrarium.
I think giveaway tools is slightly easier to work with than rafflecopter. I’ve had issues with rafflecopter not wanting to submit the item I’ve clicked before.

I learned how to make my own potato Chips
I applied for linky tools a month or more ago and can’t wait to get it. I like the fact that it takes the cheat out of cheating. I CAN’T cheat (not that I would) if I even wanted to. Love it!

I like the giveaway tool, I think it is much easier. However, you cannot edit an answer if you need to like you can on rafflecopter
My 2 year old would love the Mickey Mouse greenhouse.
I learned they have fun kids recipes!
Would love the Mickey greenhouse 🙂
they also have fun recipies on their site for kids to make
pkeintz@gmail.com
i like either one…i like where you can leave the comment on the form because you see how people just read the answer from above and say the exact same thing….they need to read your review or giveaway information or go to the site also….it takes time for you to review and write about the product….we all can take the time & read it!
I like both forms of entering. I’m used to rafflecopter, but I don’t mind the giveaway tools either. Some things are a little more simple on giveaway tools, like the tweeting. Others aren’t as good as rafflecopter, like you can’t see whether you already follow someone on twitter or not as easily. Either way, they both have good and bad points. Still better than commenting all the time though. =)
I want the Mickey Mouse Greenhouse
I prefer the giveaway tool. I like that it confirms your entries so there is no question that you did what you were supposed to
I love the How to grow a purple potato.
I didn’t realize they had so much devoted to kids on their site.
My kids would love the Kids Root Viewer
I also love the pixie hollow set!

My kids would love the Pixie Hollow Greenhouse Kit
Love the fun facts section
I like that there is a kids flower greenhouse and a vegetable greenhouse. They are so cute!
I have used this method and rafflecopter. I like that they are both very easy to use. The only problem I have is that with this one I noticed that it will submit a twitter follow when you double click on it even if it does not allow you to follow it.
I liked the Recipes!

This is a bit simpler to use!

I love the Pixie Hollow Greenhouse!
I like that there are recipes.
Are you trying out Giveaway tools or using it permanently btw?
Didn’t realize that was a separate entry. I like RC better honestly, but GT is definitely faster when addressing user concerns!!!
I learned how to grow a purple potato!
I love the website. My kids would love watching the veggies grow. Maybe they would eat them then.
I love the kids windowsill flowers kit
I love the giveaway tools. Rafflecopter has a lot of problems a lot of times

I like giveaway tools better than rafflecopter
I really like that they have healthy kid friendly recipes.
I love the Disney Princess Castle Greenhouse and the Mickey Mouse Greenhouse
I like how I don’t have to copy and paste a tweet URl in the Giveaway Tools. I don’t like how I have to click on the feedburner to enter my entry and the way the following on twitter is set up. I’ve seen it on other sites where the twitter box is used and it automatically checks and blanks out the box if you are already following.
I want exactly what is in this giveaway for my 2 neices. Thanks so much for the cool giveaway!
I learned that Bamboo is actually a grass.
Has instructions on how to make sweet potato chips.
Well Giveaway -I can’t tell if I am already following someone on FB or twitter or if I am just signing up. On some sites I wouldn;t want to maybe sign up, but I already am on here and it takes longer. Lags some, too.
I prefer giveaway tools.
Sassy Salsa sounds fun.
