However, about
 two years ago my partner, JoAn, got interested in hypertuffa troughs. Now I 
have
 the bug.I am working on a strip along the parking area here that is about 8 
feet
 wide and 35 feet long in an arch. It is to be all different kinds and sizes 
of
 troughs in arrangements with garden sculpture, rocks. The beds they sit in 
will
 also be planted in between the roughs for two levels of plants, some dwarf
 conifers. have about 1/4 completed as of a month ago. May get a bit more 
done this
 coming fall. Looks as though I will have a few alpines here after all;-) >>


Haha - another affliction.  It will take years to clear up this one, Gene.  
Remember we are East Coast and most of the USA information comes from West 
Coast gardeners.
I always pay attention to postings from Eastern gardeners.

While you mention "new editor", I also note that this is an improvement for 
us.  The former editor a wonderful gardener with the premier rock guy in 
country for a husband was not at all tuned in to the states east of the 
Mississippi.  She came as a guest to luncheon for us and was charming, a 
truly likeable lady.  I was astonished at the zoning information and 
hardiness information discussed.  Zone 4 in NYS is not zone 4 in Denver.   
Everything that she recommended for us could not work with the rain that 
falls here in normally.  

I like the new format of the Quarterly and hope to see you from time to time. 
 The new editor is also one of nicest web friends that I have encountered.  I 
love the seed list plus I like the SIGNA list.  If I subscribe to any more 
lists I will need an employee.
BTW, if you are not receiving SIGNA, it too, has a new editor and format.

Now if I could only remember to use labels when there is a new something I 
won't recognize....................
