Good Morning
I know Jill is doing Bingo this month but she has not been feeling well and she mentioned it was Ok to start one Bingo and we could always have two !
I so far have been promised Secret $$ gift from three people to buy a gift certificate for a prize !
So far it would be for $25.00 for Selective Gardner's. There will be no shipping cost for
winner but could be only one winner.
Then when Jill feels up to it she may post her Bingo too. You can play both games !
We need at least ten people to play !
I will still post 35 plant names and call each day. The person who first gets their 15 on their Bingo card is the Winner !
The Gift Certificate will be from ;

You can also use your Gift in the Spring
Good Morning October Bingo
count me in.
Count me in too....
Jill I hope you are feeling better soon.........Allison you are a sweetheart for doing this, Thanks....Lauri
Well it's just not me there's a few silent partners !
And a big Thank You to the partners too....:-)...........Lauri
Allison and partners, thank you so much! My internet connection down here at the beach has been very iffy, plus I'm still having some trouble with migraines, so I hadn't gotten anything underway yet. I'll follow Allison's game by posting a list for the next game when I get back into town... That will also give me a chance to check and make sure the prizes have survived my 2-3 week absence, LOL. Actually, I have lots of faith in the neighbor girls who were left in charge, but... I get nervous about promising plants I haven't seen for a while! :-)
Hi Jill
Hope you feel better soon. Does the relaxation at the Beach help :)) I love being on the water always made me feel good and I use to love to fish !
Hope your plants do well and you have lots of blooms to great you when you get home!
Hi leemieczCT Nice to meet you !
Count me in!! ; )
HI Violet Treasure.
Its so nice of you to do bingo this month;}
Thanks I have helpers ! And we thought we'd help out until Jill feels better :))
Thanks for inviting me, Allison...!
Count me in..! Unless if you have enough people already, then I'll watch again.
This is going to be exciting. First timer though, so be patient :o)
So, this is just like regular bingo, right, or is there any special rules I should know about?
We never have too many people ! The more the merrier but it's nice to have at least ten !
I'll be getting a list together in the next couple days. It will have 35 plant names. You pick 15 this will be your Bingo card . Each day some of these names will be called and bonus names. The first person who gets all the 15 plant names on their Bingo card Wins !
You don't need anything to play ! Just have fun !
Thanks for inviting me Allison..
I think I'll sit this one out and watch how it's played...lol...I love bingo...
Is there somewhere to read the rules and see how it's played????
Allison, I am IN!! Demstratt, you have got to play. It is really easy. You just select 15 out of the 35 names she posts, each day there will be at least one name called (it is always in the same place, so its easy to keep track). First person to get 15 names on your "card" wins. It doesn't have to be in any specific order, just first to 15. Allison, If you find that you get too many people, I would be happy to hold the cards for you.....BTW, demstratt, that means that the card holder will get everyones picks dmailed to them before the "calling" starts to verify the winners card, and the caller has no access to who chose what.
Me Me also
Ok I'll play!
LOretta Hi ! Bingo is an easy fun game and it can't be played wroong I mean no way to make a mistake or anything.
Kelly explained it real well I was able to find the first thread when we started playing Bingo in June ! Thanks to wonderful Sponcors we have had it each month !
Jill is not feeling well so we are getting this months going and when she feel better or when this one ends if she feels good she will start another one !

We only have one prize. But if the second Winner is interested I can put together a box of Gesneraids/Begonias only thing I have growing now but their nice ones !
The fun is open to all Dg's Friends ! You can buy Begonias and other items with the gift card !
You don't have to sign up here even to play just trying to see if we have enough interest !

I would like to play. I know I haven't been around lately but I started a full time job and have been tring to adjust. You all have been in my thoughts.
I'll play too! Please!!!!!!
Our vacation time in NC has me feeling much better, thanks, and I think Jim and I are both feeling like our feet are back under us (we had a very early loss of a much-anticipated pregnancy via IVF, so last month was a real roller coaster ride). I had a list going for the next game, and when I return home I will check over my plantlets to see if the ones I intended to use as prizes are still doing well... I will do my best to get the next game under way as soon as possible after Allison"s game is finished so I can get plants mailed out before cold weather sets in!
Allison, I know gift certificates and plant pots etc. won"t be a problem, but you might want to clarify whether or not people donating leaves or cuttings for some of the prizes are willing to try to ship them across the Canadian border....
I am glad I didn"t try to do the Bingo game from the beach this week... although the kids would have enjoyed helping to pick names from the hat each day, my internet connection has been so iffy that I don"t think it would"ve gone well.
(This is really strange... I can"t seem to use an apostrophe without being sent to a "find" function, but I can use quotation marks just fine... I will have to get DH to take a look at this glitch!)
For anyone who hasn"t played Bingo with us before, it really is straightforward, and when Allison posts the list and instructions it will be easy to figure out! So don"t be shy about jumping in! :-)
Count me in. I want to play too.
Jesse
achoogardner and others who are busy I know everyone is ! The game will start on Monday the 16th. and I will post list tomorrow.
You don't have to check the forum each day it's an on going list.
Hi Jill thanks for your help ! I don't think SlelectiveGardner's ships out of the Country and this is where we were going to buy the gift certificates from. We can also buy it from Rob's or another place . It will be for $25.00 ! This will be for the first Winner.
Lauri is donating Prize Two and holding cards so Larui will you ship out of the Country ?
I am donating Winner Prizes Three and Four !
Box Four can ship out of the Country as it will have no leaves or plants ~ If a Winner in the US wins I will ad Gesneraids to the box .
jill I know the Ocean/Beach will help you relax and feel better :))
I also have heat packs if needed and have extra heat packs for anyone Sponcoring a Winter Bingo I can ship to them !
