Spring. As gardeners, it’s a season we’re always looking forward to! The snow that masked our luscious lawns melts away in the warm sun; chirping birds return from their long journey south; and those bulbs we carefully planted before winter are starting to creep out of the ground. Soon our yards will be teeming with life but until then, we’re kicking off Spring early with our 12 Days of Spring Sweepstakes!
For Daily Entry Pages, scroll down to the sweepstakes calendar and click on today’s date!

Not just durable on the outside; under the lid, quality stainless steel is used for the cooking grids, tube burners and sear plates. The dual-layered LIFT EASE roll top lid provides superior heat retention, allowing you to sear, bake, roast, smoke and even turn your grill into a charcoal BBQ with the optional Cast Iron Charcoal Tray. Never leave your barbecue on again as all the Prestige series grills come with the SafetyGlow feature where the control knobs glow red when the burner is on. Complete your outdoor living space with a distinctive gas grill that can do it all.”

The daffodils are starting to come up. Such a sure sign of spring & hope of summer. It just makes me so happy. I love to work in the flower bed with good soil. 💕
I get an error when I enter the code 12DAYS2Z. Win code is invalid.
My sincere apologies for the confusion Donna! Please send an email to mail@bigyellowbag.com providing your postal code and just letting us know that your 12 Days wincode didn’t work and we will get it sorted out!
All the best and talk soon!
Missed Day 1.😔 Love Big Yellow Bag. Have won a bag of soil before and this is an awesome contest. I always use your soil and have been so happy with the results! Thank you and I look forward to another Spring planting. 😀
That’s okay Maureen! Plenty more days to enter for your chance to win this year’s prizes! Thanks so much for your kind words, and your continued business. We can’t wait for spring either!
All the best and happy gardening!
I have answered the questions for the last two days, today’s is acidity. It won’t let me enter as it says that I need to fill in a required field, but they are all filled in, even the non-required field with my last name. Is there a glitch somewhere this year?
I have not had a problem for the last two years entering this contest and I have bought from you for the last three years.
My sincere apologies for the confusion Deborah! I haven’t heard of others having issues for today’s entries, but that must be frustrating. It could be a glitch with the browser you’re using, or any number of things. No matter, I will check if your submission came through, and if not, I’ll manually enter your name into today’s sweepstakes! Thanks for playing along and please send an email to mail@bigyellowbag.com if tomorrow’s contest page gives you trouble as well!
All the best and happy gardening!
Anyone submitting an answer to the daily quiz, must make sure there is no space in the postal code. This will take care of getting an alert to something not right in one of the required fields
Thanks so much for the suggestion Sue! We’re sorry that this was not factored into the form!
Thanks again and good luck with contest!
Where do you get a win code?
Hey Charlotte,
The WinCode 12DAYS2Z is in the blog post above, and you can enter it at this link: https://www.bigyellowbag.com/contacts/new
All the best and happy gardening!
