We have a winner! -Gene takes the blue ribbon again!
Funny thing is, there are plants that can be seen in Gene's "Before" picture that are here in the basement of the house I'm at in Minnesota right now.
I think they liked it better at Gene's!

Well, I really didn't expect this result!! If I need a landscaper, I'm calling Buck ... or a photographer, I'm calling most anyone of you!
Special thanks to CoronaCactus for taking over as moderator so we can keep this portion of the site going.
I suppose that this is as good a time as any to announce that there will soon be a third image in my series.
The reason I've been so quiet for the last 6 wks or so is that 1) I've retired as of mid Jan and 2) my wife and I have found and purchased a new home in the area we long planned for retirement.
It's a 1.1 acre site with 1800 sq ft home in Nipomo, CA -- on the California Central Coast. It's about 10 minutes from member TimV. Lots of room to accomodate a green house for me, a studio for my wife and running room for our dogs
So, we are trying to sort through 34 years of accumulated clutter and make preparations to move household plus a lot of plants.
There will be a plant sale or two to help make the move more managabe and disperse things that I don't plan to grow in the new home due to climate differences.
Since I know the fate of landscaping when homes sell (it's the first thing to go besides the carpets), most of the mature landscape specimens will be sold or donated to local bot gardens.
As I get closer to a sale date, I will post information to anyone who expresses an intrest in attending -- just let me know via PM.
I'ts sure going to look odd out there with Home Depot color plants, but that's just the demands of real estate marketing. Unless, perchance, someone WANTS a 3br with C&S to spare
Cheers, GeneS

Congradulations on winning the contest Gene, but especially for moving the @%$! out of here.
I know the area you are moving to, I've Spent 100's of hours on lake lopez and I used to run a sand car around the pismo dunnes back when I was really nut's.
Its beautiful country, Im jealous!
Good luck with the move and hopefully I can help lighten the load, if Darryl and his wife dont get there first.

Hi Tim,
Not moved yet ... escrow is scheduled to close appx 4/18 and we will move household appx 1 wk later.
Then, over the next month or so, I'll be moving my collection and getting the Orange house ready to sell. Hope to be fully moved by end May but you know how those things go!!
Good that I'm moving this time of year, gives me 5-6 mo to get a suitable temp, or permenant GH organized;
I'll let you know when we're done.
Cheers ... Gene
PS. I heard that there is a C&S club organizing in Pismo? Know anyone/thing about it??
