Hello All~

I believe I am next in line to be the BingoMistress for the month of April :) I can't remember if anyone has already volunteered to be my holder....so shout out if you did.

Here are my ideas, cavets, rules and assorted paranoia:

I haven't seen any bugs on my plants even using a loupe but as we all know this doesn't guarantee the plant is 100% bug free. I am not the world's best isolater and I bring cut flowers in from my garden all summer. SO what I am saying is please understand the risk you may be taking by not isolating your winning plants. Also, you may want leaves instead of the starter plants which I will happily substitute (leaves being easier to clear of potential problems). If neither of these options feel safe enough for you, then you may want to sit this bingo out until there is a gift certificate bingo *warm smile, not snotty grimace*

On to the game. I propose an old fashioned (meaning last year) type of Bingo. I will list all the varieties I have to give, noting any info I have on them. (I have a lot of starter plants just ripe for shipping) You (meaning bingo player) pick your favorite 15 for your bingo card. If you win bingo, you win a box with all 15 of the plants and/or leaves you wanted. Cool, huh?

Winner pays all shipping and fees (I'm nice but kinda poor)!

What do you think out there? Wanna play?
