I just read this in the news letter, I sure would have loved to get this book, BUT my acorn stack is not even big enough to call a stack so I guess I will just be enviouse of whomever gets it.

WOW I was just given 100 acorns, I am spending them all on tickets for the book, Hmmmm wonder how many will buy it.

Dave I just found where to go, haha I got two tickets. ya never know

Congrats on that nice gift of acorns.

You can find the instructions on how to buy tickets to the raffle in the first post of this thread.

Congrats on your acorn stash, kareoke!

I just want to also add the CD that comes with the book is interactive:

With the CD you'll not only get a Search Feature that searches by plant name, both common or botanical, but also lets you refine your search by categories such as:

Aquatic/Wet garden; Background Plant; Bird-attracting plant; Coastal garden; Color feature; Container plant; Cut/Dried flowers; Food/medicinal plant; Fragrant plant; Hedge/screen; Rock garden, and more.

The CD also contains a Garden Journal feature so you can plan your gardens, keep personal notes about various plants, make a wish list, etc! I plugged it in the other day and even a computer idiot like me found it easy to use. Here is a pic of the CD home page:




Happy Gardening, Folks!

That is such a fantastic book and CD - how can you bear to part with it?

I'm wondering the same thing.

Shoe could have written the book

Thank you Horseshoe, I have already spent it on tickets with a prayer

"how can you bear to part with it?"

I can part with it knowing it will go to a good home, will be in good hands, and will be shared. So ya see, I'm coming out pretty good knowing it will be enjoyed and shared. And the not-a-raffle raffle is a mighty fun way to pass it on, eh? Yee-haw!

"Shoe could have written the book"

NOT! Vic, I think I like the gardening world so much cus we don't ever know it all. It's constantly changing and so much to learn. I think Mother Nature wrote that book, all those authors/writers just penned it for her! *grin

By the way, Folks... This is such a fun place I've decided on sumpin'...

Recently someone sent me some acorns "just becuz". I think I'd like to share 150 acorns with the first person to correctly give the answer to the following question:

"Who is Buford Majestic?"

Shoe (always looking for fun....)

Used to be an interior design place in Buford Georgia but what's that got to do with anything, Shoe??

Heheheh. WRONG!

Bzzzzzt. (Bonker noise)

Well goodness.
What do you expect from an old art teacher?
But I had a dog named Buford one time. He wasn't very Majestic though.

Yeh, I think I've known a lot of Bufords....

But if someone has a hard time figgering (or "figuring" if you are in the city limits) I'll happily post a clue.

Shoe (a bit tired from two days worth of work in one day; back in a few hours, I'm sure).

Hah, it's your mail man isn't it?
I loved that blog.

Sherri!!
