Or spend them on getting yourself a free ATP shirt and mug.

I WOULD LOVE A SHIRT AND MUG! WHERE IS YOUR STORE?

When we add Comments to an entry we all are winners in some way. I love ready the comments posted by others. While reading them I have found new plants to try.

What's the deadline, Dave? And does our name go in the hat for each comment we submit, or just once no matter how many?

I've submitted at least one, but have been too busy to do more - lots of concerts this time of year.

Ann, if you did one then you're entered. You get one entry. The deadline is the 10th but I don't remember if that includes the 10th or if it ends at midnight tonight.

Still, contest or no, we can all benefit from making comments. It helps any of us or future ATP'ers who wonder about a certain plant. AND we still get an acorn for each comment. So keep those comments going!!!!!

Only the helpful comments get an acorn. If it's not helpful, no acorn.

How is a "helpful" comment defined? Some of mine are helpful, at least in MY eyes, but I don't think I've received any acorns for them. Doesn't matter. I've got lots.

And if it's just one entry, then I don't feel urgency to make more comments right now. Likely January for the rest. Have another performance of Vivaldi's "Gloria" this afternoon (different orchestra than last night - filling in for an injured friend) and then preparing my handbell choir for 3 outings before Christmas will keep me pretty busy for awhile.

"Nice plant" = not especially helpful.

"This is one of my oldest hostas and one of the easiest to grow. It is very easy to divide, grows fast and makes a wonderful border plant." = Helpful!! Thanks ViolaAnn!

So.... when I get .2 acorns, it's not very helpful, but thanks anyways?
