I chose the persimmon from Plant Me Green. It doesn't ship until Dec. as they wait for them to be dormant before shipping. I'm sure I'll add items between now & then. Whistling Whistling I know I'm going to add another persimmon.

Getting plants at a very good price
Healthy, healthy fruit-ing plants

That's awesome Ann! I chose the Victory Seed gift certificate- after an off year with the veggie garden this will amp up my enthusiasm for next year.

I chose the plants from Perennial Obsessions. Succulents are a rarity around here so the opportunity to get some special varieties is exciting but it really was difficult, there were still plenty of great prizes left.

Congratulation to all the winners, I know you are all as pleased as I am today.

A huge thank you to Dave & Trish and especially to the generous donors of all the prizes. And, of course, to the adorable Raffle Boys.
