Janine, your prize seeds will go out today.

Today's words are:
Digitalis grandiflora
Rocket Larkspur

I just scored the cards and I think we have our first winner! I'll wait to confirm that later when the person who won notices, or tonight. I'm a little foggy this morning and I may have missed a word.
Even if we have a winner I will draw tomorrow for second place. There may be more than one second place winner as several cards are close.

There is an "invisibility" warning for us regarding travel throughout today. I've never seen that before.

Bingo !!!!!! I think

Congrats, Duane!

Yay, Duane!!

Way to go Duane! Congratulations.

Even though I didn't win the game everyday that I had one of the drawn names I felt like a winner.

That was an enjoyable game!! Thank you, Alana.

Congrats Duane

Congratulations Duane! Please let me know your preference.

Sorry I did not check in last night. I was too tired to push the on button.
I'm going to draw two more seed names for second place in a minute. If there is just one winner, Leslie has the prize covered. If the next winner happens to be Leslie, or if there are multiple winners, I will come up with a list of seeds that the winners can choose from, first come, first served.

Back with another cup of coffee and two new words in a moment.

Okay. Sing out if your card is filled after these two. They will be the last words posted, I imagine.
Prunella grandiflora
Agastache 'Tango'

I have Bingo so please go on to the next person.

Tomorrow I will look through the cards and see how many winners we have and we will go from there.

The next game will be a short one, and the first correct answer will win. I know everyone is busy this week.

Okay. Unless I missed something, both LALambchop and janinilulu are 2nd place winners. LALamchop can provide her 2nd place prize for Janine and our 1rst place winner, Duane has offered to provide Digitalis grandiflora (correct me if that's wrong, Duane), so his prize can go to Leslie.

This was a nice long game and as I was looking back over the scorecards I noticed a seed that was never drawn, Zinnia Dancing Girls, was the downfall of many a list. Such a pretty Zin. http://www.burpee.com/flowers/...

This weekend's game coming up. This one will be a little easier for veggie growers than strictly ornamental growers. It will be a simple matter of first correct guess wins. I'll post it around 6:00, or as close after as it takes me to remember it.

Nope, I didn't win! Mimbres Figwort was on my card and I don't think it was drawn. That was a really good game, though!

A slip of the check mark. Sorry. Amazing that we had only one 1rst and one 2nd with all those words flying around.

Okay, this is a quick game. At least I think it is. I won't post another until the next weekend.

I'm growing a new to me heirloom bean this year. Can you identify it from the picture below? Hint: The color of the fresh beans is different than the mature seeds. Photo is of the mature version. The first person to correctly identify the variety wins 20 seeds of the aforementioned legume.

Alana, If it's okay with you, I'll post a game tomorrow to help blow some time.

Of course.
If no one has guessed the bean by tomorrow night I will post another hint.

We have added a couple of members since the last time we visited the ongoing "guess the number of participants" game. Here is a recap of where we are and @dave and @DASH can post their guesses if they are so inclined.
There are currently 39 members in the swap.

Simple game-
How many swap members will we have when we go active on January 1, 7:00 pm EST? Each guess must be unique.
