MBE Readers Name the Vegetable Plot

For the Wednesday poll this week, I asked you all to give me suggestions for a name for the vegetable plot in the Community Garden.  I think Fergus' Mom (Fergus being Moe's soul-brother in terms of mischief and charm) hit on a winner.  Henceforth, the vegetable plot will be known as "The Burrow" (the Burrow being the Weasley's house in the Harry Potter books).  To quote J.K. Rowling:

"It looked as though it had once been a large stone pigpen, but extra rooms had been added here and there until it was several stories high and so crooked it looked as though it were held up by magic (which, Harry reminded himself, it probably was).  Four or five chimneys were perched on top of the red roof.  A lopsided sign stuck in the ground near the entrance read, THE BURROW.  Around the front door lay a jumble of rubber boots and a very rusty cauldron.  Several fat brown chickens were pecking their way around the yard.

"'It's not much,' said Ron.

"'It's wonderful,' said Harry happily . . . ."

Quite honored that my suggestion was the big winner!! I will be sending good vibes in the general direction of 'The Burrow' in hopes that you will have a bumper crop year.
