Ready for the March NARR, it has been a long winter. The March NARR must mean it's officially Spring!

I have my eye on that galvanized raised bed. With our 'soil' being rock and clay, raised beds make it a whole lot easier to have a garden.

Question for @Dave ... Do you if it's the 34x34 or the 62x43 ?

Thanks Rob & Dave

How generous Rob!

I can't use acorns as I live outside the US and a lot of the raffle prizes are unable to be sent abroad, so as I have hundreds of acorns if anyone wants some let me know!

I'll still buy some tickets but will donate the prize if I win.

I've got my eye on that raised bed! I've had wooden ones, but galvanized would be much better!

It's always fun to watch the kids pick out the winners. Maybe this will be the year I finally win something.

I've also got excess acorns, so the next 10 people who request them (excluding those who previously got them from Rob) will get 25 acorns for raffle tickets.
