kniphofia said: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 could use a few acorns if you have some to spare! Hurray! Thank You!

Many thanks, Australis and TBGDN, for the acorns! Now I just need to debate whether to spend them all now or save some for the next raffle. . .

You're welcome!

Australis said: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.


There's still a few spots left in case anyone else wants some acorns...

Oh, I think you've twisted my arm, Australis. I was going to forego this NARR but then I saw that Victory Seeds is a sponsor again. What's really fun is that a few days ago I discovered some heirloom okra seeds that I'll be mailing to Victory Seeds for a 'test run'.

I've been very close to being able to give away acorns for the NARR. Not quite there yet. Maybe next time.

So anyway, if you have some extra, I'd love some.

Thank you!

Just bought 5 tickets.

Now I'll see if I can find some garden events to add that I either haven't added already or aren't too soon that it would be unfair to add them. I know that some are coming up that involve wine, but don't think I'll post those. 😝 But posting events is a nice way to earn acorns as well as to remind myself of all the things that are happening around in my 'hood.
