I think all of us in the garden field have our many Jim Wilson experiences that made us so dearly love him. One of my favorite moments came from something he said regarding PAR to an audience "and if you grow  flowers but no vegetables, think of contributing these to your local soup kitchen. For how often, do those who frequent a soup kitchen, have the opportunity to dine with flowers on the table?" Jeff, thank you for letting us know...

Just sitting there with him in that train was such an experience. People would hear his voice and know who he was and everyone of them had something nice to say about how he impacted their garden activities.
