Thanks for the tip! I just joined.

Babka, I had just bought 16 older Hosta Journals. I found interesting articles, which would have solved some arguments we had here. I like to have several Hosta Journals in my car to read when I have to wait somewhere, like yesterday 3 1/2 hours at a Toyota service shop. When reading mine a second time I will make a list of interesting items for later lookup. When you want to get rid of your old Journals, perhaps you could send me all I do not have with me paying you for it?

Bernd-

Your page has no e-mail option. Please send me a list of what you already have.

Babka, thank you for your offer, I sent you an Email with a list of the ones I have, 20 total. I also enabled Email in my GW account .

Smith, I had not read down to the DVD offer, was not looking for it. But I had ordered and received 16 older (paper) Journals from Mrs. Schroeder, all she had left. My problem is that I can not sit in my car, in a comfortable recliner at home or when waiting elsewhere with my PC and the files of that DVD. I also have no Ipad or electronic reader, do not plan to buy either. So I enjoy reading paper copies.
Thanks for your comments!
Bernd

Done.ðÂÂÂðÂÂÂ

Thanks for the reminders. Another winter project-join the American Hosta Society-completed.

Berndny, sooner or later that Grandson of yours will drag you into the 21st century with some tiny storage medium...like a SDHC card which can plug into most any tablet.....and they can store up to 64gig these days, probably more, but my experience stops at 64.

I think a lot of folks avoid the paper copy thing these days because of space considerations. I'm a hybrid because I cannot break the paper habit, yet love the convenience of full sets in e-formats.

Moccasin, thankfully I am getting a lot of Journals from Babka, so I am set to sit in a comfortable recliner and read all those Journals, my 20 included, several times. I will still read the electronic Journals each winter on my PC. In case you buy a DVD from the AHS, note that there are interesting articles in all those Journals, perhaps there is a Search function available. Bernd

So I joined the AHS a few days ago and have not recived a password for the members only section yet, is this because of the holidays or should I contact them?

P.S. Happy new year folks!

mountainy_man,

I just joined recently too.I wrote them and they said it takes about 2 weeks to get the password and a welcome packet.

I got mine in the snail mail last week.So it is probably on it's way to you.

Thanks Stoc,
They should say this in the welcome email, thanks for letting me know.

Whats in the welcome packet?

I thought the same thing.

A magazine and info about what is included and a coupon for 15 bucks for a Hosta nursery.The only one in Europe is Bali hai--is that how you spell it?

Ah good stuff, Ya Bali-Hai, got my first order from Ian, very small plants but good and healthy, $15 = 10.90 euros, nice must have a look at his site again, thanks.

The list for my Van den Top spring order keeps growing this forum is going to bankrupt me lol.
