I attended a coffeehouse last night. My 16 year old son was performing with friends, so I went to watch/listen. (Only recently has he agreed to let me come, so I don't miss it!). Anyway, there was a raffle/fundraiser for a good cause, so of course I bought 6 tickets. And one of the items being raffled was a (drumroll......) GARDENER'S BASKET! I stuffed the ballot box with all 6 of my tickets & won 1)Smith & Hawkins beautiful trowel 2)pair of gardening gloves 3) 2 tomato seedlings 4) 2 pepper seedlings 5) 14 yes 14!! dahlia tubers!!!! Oh! and a giant bag of compost, and of course,2 baskets to carry it all in!!!! Yahoooooooo!!!!
Another big CONGRATULATIONS! on your prize. How lovely to hear that raffles can set up useful prizes.
Hi all! Thanks for your well wishes! I have already planted 1/2 the dahlia tubers, of course, using the gardening gloves, trowel & compost. what a deal!
