Where does the ground wire go?

My cage is wired to a double GFI, The circuit breaker in my distribution panel was replaced with the red GFI model, and I installed a GFI outlet behind the cage.

If you are going to insist on doing it right, why stop half way?

EDIT: my bad... I just saw your post:you should be using outdoor fixtures and connection with a ground fault outlet

So should I take back the fixtures I currently have and get something else? The guy at the store said they would be ok, but if not I'll return them and get the proper fixtures. Have to go back anyways to get the junction boxes and wire nuts.

So just to clarify- One end of the ground wire goes inside the junction box at the green screw, and the other goes to the prong on the plug correct?

That photo was very helpful . Now I understand what was meant.

That is correct.
