It's My Birthday Plant Challenge (Ontario, Canada)

I'm hosting a planting contest to encourage both new and old planters to put boxes out there but there is a twist . . . for your plant to be counted in this challenge it must be planted in a town/city in Ontario that does not have any letterboxes yet.

Check out the information below and join this virtual event if you want to get in on the fun!

The rules are pretty basic.
1. You must plant at least one box to earn a chance to win the grand prize.
2. Your box must be planted sometime before July 28, 2009.

Each person who plants a box in a town/city that does not have any other letterboxes will be elligible for 1 entry into the contest. The prize will be a $25.00 gift certificate for Michael's or WalMart (winner's choice) so the winner can buy lots of supplies or lock n lock boxes.

If you are a new planter, please consider putting a box out there. Your stamp and logbook can be store bought or handmade. Either is fine. If you are a new carver, don't worry if your stamp is nothing more than a simple shape or picture! We were all new carvers at one point and we will appreciate anything you put out! If you don't want to have to maintain a bunch of boxes, please consider putting a box out for 3 months at a time. This way, you only have one box to maintain and you can reuse the logbook and box if you wish for your next plant! Last but not least, go plant! I'm looking forward to a bunch of new boxes in Ontario.

I hope you'll join in. Here's the link to the event http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gEventId=1299

See ya.

A Taste of Canada ~ Fiddleheads

I do enjoy fiddleheads.  They have a green bean-y, asparagus-like, pea-ish taste and they are just fun to look at. From Chateline Magazine: HOW-TO It’s Almost Fiddlehead Season! Here’s How To Cook This Springtime Veggie Properly Fiddleheads are a Canadian delicacy, but undercooking them can lead to food poisoning by Amy Grief  Updated Apr 9, 2019 Fiddlehead season is short, so when you see the adorable green curlicues at your grocery store or farmers’ market, buy them while you can. Before chowing down on these little springtime delicacies, there’s a few things you should know first since fiddleheads can cause food poisoning if they’re not cooked properly. What are fiddleheads? These tightly curled coils are ostrich fern fronds. They start appearing in late April and early May in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and are usually found in forests, marshes and by rivers and streams.
