Congratulations! Let me know which prize you would like and it will be in your return envelope.

That was really fast, or it least if seemed like it to me. How about a NFTSRSS word scramble? Anyone can participate. See next post.

If you want to try this word scramble there is no need to sign up. I don't want to wake mom up rifling through the seed cabinet so let's use the same three choices for the winner. To recap, the winner will choose one of these:

Tuberous Begonia, Picotee Sunburst, new for 2020, 20 pelleted seeds https://www.panamseed.com/plan...
or
Heirloom cut-short bean 'Mayflower,' also known as Amish Knuttle 50 beans. https://www.seedsavers.org/may...
or
Gaillardia collected from this pretty one with colors of autumn in each flower, gold, red, peach. It's one of my favorite plants this year and is still blooming nicely despite the fact that I've had no rain in at least 6 weeks and daytime temps have not dropped out of the 95-100 degree range for months. 30 seeds
Thumb of 2019-09-28/poisondartfrog/2c48db

The first person to submit the correct answers wins. All of these words or phrases relate to either places or events people attend or activities people participate in during autumn, which for purposes of this game includes October and November.

There is an apostrophe missing from the 2nd word of the first phrase on the list. Click to enlarge.

Congrats Ronnie!! Smiling

Thank you, Alana! It's hard to pick because they're all really nice prizes! Ronnie just made it easier because I saw she had Begonias on her wish list so...

Hmm which one? I love those flowers and have always admired the flowers of that kind of Gaillardia and I really love the description of those beans... I finally had to do eeny-meeny Hilarious!


Gaillardia please. Smiling

Oh thank you Alana I was trying to be nice plus narrow the choice down for myself. Haha!

Those begonias do look amazing! But I will keep my choice, I think the pollinators will love the Gaillardias too. Lovey dubby

Alana,

Thank you so much for playing games. I've been so busy with my father that I just can't get into games right now.

I'd be happy to provide seeds if you want to continue playing.. 😀😀

A new game. You guys always blast through my crosswords, but I can't resist. Hilarious!

The first to complete the puzzle may choose from one of these devilishly red prizes:

1. 15 seeds Kniphofia uvaria, Flamenco, packed for 2020, first year flowering. https://www.harrisseeds.com/pr...

or 2. 20 seeds Portulaca oleracea, Toucan Scarlet, commercial for 2020 https://www.panamseed.com/plan...

or 3. 20 seeds Impatiens walleriana, Impreza Punch, commercial for 2020 https://www.panamseed.com/plan...


Multiple errors have been brought to my attention. I'm busy right now. I'll put these clues in a different crossword generator and post it later.

So sorry.

The free crossword puzzle makers leave something to be desired. Here's a new and improved version, but it looks a little rough. Click to enlarge. If you had started the first one, this one might have one less clue and answer.

Close, Diana. If you cross reference you will see 5 down does not fit with the answer that crosses it. The correct answer has 11 letters, not 10. The space is there, but the line is faint between two of the letter spaces.
Since you made the effort, I declare you the winner and I will offer the same list of prizes in another game a little later in the week. Let me know which seeds you choose.

No more crosswords, Scout's honor. I think I remember last time I used them having similar issues. There is always a defect when I create them. User error, no doubt. Shrug!
