I just know I will not remember the correct name of the poster. So
shan't attempt. Reference to "precious gold treasure in a leathery
case". I distinctly remember a similar riddle being given to Gollum
by Bilbo as they bargained over a certain Ring in Tolkien's
trilogy. "presciousss" I do hope to incorporate poetry when finally
planting a box this summer.

Very good, Rospa10! I am in the midst of planting 9 boxes and a HH in
a Middle Earth series in San Luis Obispo County, CA. Somehow it just
all came together for the haiku.
