Congratulations to all the winners!
I can't believe my luck. I came in at 6th place and when it was my turn to choose my prize my most wished for was still available. I chose the Santa Rosa gift certificate.

Thank you all who make these NARR possible!

How great to be able to get your first choice. I've been lucky like that in the past and it's such a wonderful feeling. Congrats and Happy Gardening.

Wonder what winners #2 thru 5 picked? C'mon, y'all. Inquiring minds want to know.

I got fifth place and was able to get my top pick, too! I chose a tool (Chillington Fork) from EasyDigging.com and can't wait to see it. This has been so fun. Also, to give others hope, I almost didn't enter the June NARR because I could only get three tickets--and look what happened. Many thanks to the very generous companies for the prizes and to Dave for facilitating the event. As I wrote before, this is such a nice treat for gardeners like me who are in their most challenging gardening season. Smiling Hurray! Smiling

Well, no mystery for me. I finished last at #17 so I am getting acorns no doubt. But I am blessed, I have won three times, last, two from the bottom and last again. Acorns every time.
So my choice is simple, do not buy tickets or use my booty to buy tickets and try to finish higher up for a plant prize or gift card. But it IS NOT about the prize, it is all about participating, the video, the posts, watching the children grow, watching those little piggy toes! That's the Prize here!! Not the seeds, not the tools, not the acorns. It IS about the NGA and Friendship. I tip my hat to you.

I won twice 1st and 4th , both times got what I would of picked first , both times only bought one ticket.
and both times , was working so hard I forgot all about the raffle until I received the tree mail notification.
