Aha!! That was a subject I did a search on yesterday, but could not recall what the new hosta might be. Great minds and all that.....

Steve (I think) was going to try and reach Papou's son to get permission to use a his Dad's photo. It would kind of be in memory of him. (He was before my time on the list.) Otherwise, we were going to use the one that got the most votes, and I don't remember whose it was, but it was a regular poster. (Ken's had a ball cap in the middle of the photo.)

p.s. We should be able to find that thread with a search.

We put a light right over the front door, connected via extension cord to the electrical outlets at the back of the GH. This is not ideal. I'd rather have an outlet, and a light switch there at the front. I also plug in heat mats and a fan at the front of the GH. Too many extension cords and power strips for my taste. Electrical outlet in the back of the GH. The box is waterproof. Two outlets is definitely not enough! The water line. This ties into the water inside the basement. In the basement there is a valve to shut the GH water line off and drain it in the winter. That's key! The valve down low, with the red handle, is for the misting system. It's nice to have that be it's own thing and out of the way of everything else. I attach a mineral filter to the valve, and then it goes into the thin tubing that runs up along the center of the ceiling beam. There are misting nozzles every 3 feet. It's awesome! I just crack that valve barely open and I get an even drizzle that I can leave on all day. The water and electric are on opposite sides of the back window. Here is a somewhat messy picture of the arrangement. Potting bench on the right, bins of soil on the left. Also some black buckets of water for thermal storage. The small white bucket is to help the cats jump up to the shelves. If they don't have an easy way to get up there they get creative. Hope that helps! - Karin

Sorry Shirley, I saw that and then left if off. Annie Karen Michelle Margo Janine Dan Ellie Bunny Heather Kelli Vina Don Alana Susan Three outstanding. I think all but one have definitely been sent. I will check on the other in the morning. I may have missed an email. Good news on the stray cat front-the black and white cat has been rehomed, and just in time. Her new mom called me this evening and said Solar is making herself comfortable in a box under the stairs. That leaves little tail free Doc, whose tummy is now very round indeed, who needs a permanent home. It's been in the 80's for a few days and will be for a few more, then it looks like things will get really scary around Halloween. The F word has entered the forecast. I can only hope they are as accurate as usual. Alana

I have enjoyed viewing the gardens pictured here immensely! It always amazes me that a garden can be so stunning no matter if it is an immaculately laid out planned garden like some of those shown above or like my garden where there is no well thought out plan . ( well, it is stunning to me when in bloom ......this time of year ......not so much !) You see, I am a plunker . There is no rhyme or reason to where a plant is placed . No defined shape of gardens or preplanned "what will go in where" . If I plant a plant and it doesn't like where it is , I move it and plunk it somewhere else in due time. I live surrounded by farmer's fields where the top product produced is dandelions by the millions. I have learned to embrace the weeds. I know that I will never in a million years master them so I resign myself to the fact that I will always have to vigorously thin the weeds. All spring , summer and fall I simply cannot afford to put down mulch in all 43 separate gardens ! If I had the ability to have one wish granted, I would wish for the funds to be able to put up a 10 foot tall fence in order to have a backdrop for my gardens and to also maybe prevent some of the quadrillion dandelion puffs to not reach my gardens . found a few more pics

Zkathy, My garden in NY is much larger, over 400 varieties, maybe 600 plants. I have all of my CO varieties in NY Ken, 2 feet of snow on leafed out plants is a little tough even if it is insulation. The frost did the most damage. One night it was supposed to get down to 35 and it dropped to 27.

I meant to update the forum on this earlier. Thanks for bringing it back up. I tried several different methods of contacting Papou's family including several different email addresses and a couple of phone numbers. No luck. I then sent a letter by certified mail (return receipt requested) to Papou's last known street address in Canada sometime in late February. About a month later the letter came back having been unclaimed by anyone at that address. Some forum veteran sent me a private email mentioning that Papou and his family regularly spent the winters in Florida and returned to Canada for Spring and Summer. It is my intention to resend this letter to his family once again as a last ditch effort to contact them and get permission to use this photo.

GW has made it clear that they are unwilling to use Papou's photo without permission from the family. If we can't get that permission, then I would suggest that we use the second most popular choice among the photos. That was Wendy's photo of Liberty. Let me give the mail one last chance. Hopefully, Papou's family will have returned from Florida by now and we can contact them.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm open to them.

Thanks for your patience with a process that I don't think anyone would have guessed to have been so complex.

The process would have been much easier if we, as a group, hadn't been determined to memorialize one of our finest! Thanks, Steve, for continuing to work on this! Nance
