Dave has created a really nice new forum where we can post our original gardening ideas. There are already a few good ones in there.

I am giving 5 acorns each to the next three people to post a new idea to that forum! Ideas can be complex, or they can be very simple and short. Here's a really good example of a nice, short one (it's in the old forum so don't try to post your new ideas there):

Here's the new forum--be sure to reply to this once you've posted your new idea so that I can send you your acorns Acorn ! https://garden.org/forums/view...

Welcome!

I love your idea BTW! I love it when simple things can make our lives easier and better. I've always avoided cactus plants because I never could think of a way to transplant or handle them!

Thank you for posting your wonderful and very useful ideas to the new idea forum! I love them!

That's it for my acorn giveaway, but I really hope that people will continue posting to the Ideas Forum https://garden.org/forums/view...

And maybe someone else would like to offer a few acorns for new posts there? Then more people can purchase NARR tickets! That's especially nice for newer members who have not yet participated in the NARR but would like to.

Good luck to everyone! Crossing Fingers!
