February Bingo: Garden Plants

[temom]

This morning I thought I would look to see who is calling February's bingo, and send them a little reminder. Guess who was on the list? Sweet Little Me, who completely forgot! Lately my mind has been on my garden, and this weekend I even started some seeds in peat pots. So now you all can consider having a garden, even if it is just 2 or 3 plants in pots on a windowsill

New players are strongly encouraged to join us. Simply pick 25 words from the list (ok, technically they aren't words, but lines), and send them to me in a Private Message. Every day in February I will pick 5 words (thanks to the random number program) to post. Mark them off your list, and the first one to get all 25 and post "Bingo" wins. A small prize is included!

Since I am so late, I will delaly calling until February 2nd.

Well, good for sweet little ol' you, Theresa! I didn't give it a second thought. I'll get my list off soon.
