All I can say about our weather and our spring is just plain terrible We had snow squalls all day and yesterday and won't stop and 1-2 cm had fell. The long range is bad, still 8C below normal. I wish I lived where all of you's are because its always warmer than here most of the time. If more cold s...

yuccaman

Its okay

I was thinking the same thing too. If you need more, Keep me in mind

Im always here to help.

yuccaman

I had did this before but that other forum shut down

I would like to try if its up to you?

yuccaman

Thanks for the help. I might get some of those type for my little cabin on the south wall.
I will do my best for the wet protection.

I wish they were native here.
Maybe we are to close to the lake.

yuccaman

Im looking for a cactus to meet my needs below. One that has the best at taking lots of wetness. Cold hardy for my zone or lower (5b-5a or zone 4b to 2a) Maybe edible fruits? Does not need much or any protection. Great place to order from (Canada or Ontario) Im sorry that I could be to hard and pick...

yuccaman

Im am happy that you did not get much.

But we are watching a cold april that could happen
soon.

yuccaman

Thank you. I really hope you get some nice flowers this spring.

I had heard that calgary got alot of snow by a storm?

Its possible for one to hit us in april.
Some flowers in my area are already in full bloom

yuccaman

It was not always harsh but in december and parts of january it was very warm. In late winter we got hit by every possible type of precipation, also every storm I could think of. (some were extremly severe) But now I very happy :D We hit 20.2C and made my tulips sprout faster and they are getting qu...

yuccaman

Thanks for some help. Those should be great for now.

yuccaman

I have transplanted trees before in late march but I need some small plants or flowers or small conifers.

yuccaman

I did notice the soft ground went down to about a foot after I hit frozen ground. Seemed good for plants that had small roots.

Is there any bulbs (Crocus,Tulips)? Small conifers? anything?

This week they are calling for 20C soon so it could go down 2 or 3 feet?

yuccaman

Thats cool old building you got there barrie :D I thought BC had mostly new buildings becuase the canadian explores got there last? We have similer photos of what you got but right now I have mount pelon photos.Take a look :D Trenton 1945. http://upload7.postimage.org/341655/Trenton1945H.jpg Trenton...

The Ghosts last haunt was in 1949. People were living there last year when there was full of cars but there seems to nobody at this time. It should be fully restored because this such a rare house. I searched through lots of cities in ontario and have not found one like this one. There is more house...

yuccaman

I seen this house for a long time and passed it alot. You can take photos of this house. I think its an Italian Villa and it was built in 1889 by the McNairs. Now no one lives in it at this time but there a some stuff out there like shopping carts and toys,etc. Its one of the oldest houses of trento...

yuccaman

My mistakes, 1, I did not put my rhododendron on the southwall and most of the winter it was getting more shade and cold north west winds. 2, It was also exposed to the Ice storm but my other plants were covered. 3, I also did not cage it up so the rabbits could chew of its little twigs. 4, My palm ...

yuccaman

Barrie Our last frost is around May 15, But the has been some frost in very early june. Robin migrate has been early than normal. Back in year 2000 or 90's the birds came out in mid april or early april Rarely the end of march it it was warm enouth. Planting can be done on the end of march in this a...

yuccaman

I really like the new forum :D The Robins are out! We had some extremly mild weather and some places had a june like weather. Windsor Ontario = 20C or possibly 22C London = 19C Toronto = 16C Trenton only 12C. Most of the snow is gone and uncovering some dead plants and even expensive ones from the -...

yuccaman

We had -22C this morning and we had 45 or more days below freezing. If I had a palm (needle palm or trachycarpus) even with protection, I can not belive it would survive this cold for this long. They are calling for a cold spring for us but forecasts are showing well above normal. Would a palm make ...

yuccaman

I might be getting the 1969 boss soon but quite long from now

I will show pictures of when I do get one.

yuccaman

I tried the warm water pail and it looked a bit better the leaves are not rolled up.

I think its working

Thanks Palmettoman.

Im lucky that we do not have much snow so
it will melt soon.

yuccaman

Hope your plants survive and do well. My rhodo is still not doing good after a number of tries and the rabbits had bitten some stems off. I saw a broken twig. It was dry and had no life and put in the wood stove where there was not coals or embers and In 6 seconds it exploded on fire because it was ...

yuccaman

Not long ago we had -26C in outside where I was while toronto was at -16C!! But spring is coming. Some warmer temperatures are coming possibly with some heavy rain. My palm seems to be doing well in the basement so thats an okay start. We do not have much snow on the ground but the drifts are high. ...

yuccaman

Spring is going to be warmer than normal. Mid april could be like early june. We are going to have an active thunderstorm year. Maybe a good few weak tornadoes to capture vidoes with or take pictures.

If its a warm spring maybe it will come back.

yuccaman

I will try your tip Palmettoman. Right now we are having freezing drizzle. Ryan I saw other peoples rhodos and they do great and some are like mine and survive. I have there is a PJM rhododendron which its hardy to zone 4. We had zone 6b temps now and we mostly get this almost every winter so maybe ...

yuccaman

I enjoyed the mild winter we have been getting. But now its cold,windy,snowy. We had some hours of -20C. Winter is not looking so good and its only going to get worse. Everywere in canada looks fine but we are the only ones having problems. My last plant may be dead or its dormant? http://upload5.po...

yuccaman

They are calling for a cold night of -20C but before that we are getting 5-10 cm of snow from a winter storm that effected oklahoma and other states with ice. I don't like when we get snow and it turns extremly cold on the next sunny day. I heard El nino is starting to fade soon. My temps seem much ...

yuccaman

We were in between two fronts across the country and between it was keeping super warm air in our area but now its starting to weaken and the arctic air in the north is going to spill down and we are going to be seasonal to below seasonal. The west coast of BC is going to get some cold maybe along w...

yuccaman

Awsome pics

Im hoping for my filamentosas to trunk.

Try a yucca elata or a yucca rostrata and Y. elata x glauca is super hardy they will do great as long as
they are dry in your zone.

Hope they get taller.

yuccaman

I think they might live for a long time in our brutal winters. :D Be happy to see those pics soon. Thanks for alot of help to. Thats my old garden I did 5 years ago I moved away from it. I loved the huge tall pine trees that grew around. I did not know what yuccas I was planting because they were gi...

yuccaman

I think its called soapweed becuase the swords are so thin and look like weed grass but I really do not know much about that. I saw some at connan nursery and the said spanish bayonet and below it yucca glauca. They would rarely get a trunk maybe better in warmer climates and its zone 4-3 hardy. Are...

yuccaman

They could be Yucca elata or Yucca glauca. It would be cool but we have many days of nonstop wet it just feels impossible.
In the photo it looks like there is some drainage protection.

We are having a zone 8a winter and some cordyline like plants are still green and alive.

yuccaman

Are these yuccas or a other plant?
Its the 2 Biggest ones

The last one shows how mild we have been. Just a extra

yuccaman

Its a great new year and already planning for the new garden. We almost had the mildest new year on record.The Temps are all way above seasonal throughout half of the month. It reached 9C on january 1. Im so happy the days are getting longer.

yuccaman

Nice trunked healthy palm. I wish we can grow them here but when I lived in Florida we had the same species of palm as you Josef.

yuccaman

I looked at my forecast and its saying 16C near christmas on the 14 day trend. I wished I had a needle palm and it would survive our winter. Its to late now. The forecast is all above zero. Anyone else seeing a warm up on forecasts. Take a look at mine below.

yuccaman

I brought the palm in. I will take a photo of it. The palm does not look to good and I had to cut some fans off.

yuccaman

I woke to a very cold morning (-1C) My chinese fan palm was left out again and its covered in snow and ice. Heres the photo.

Anyone elese have snow? Port erie got 30 cm.

yuccaman

I left out my chinese fan palm in the ground and it did well in the frost but some new shoots had died. I don't know why were are getting frost so early. My rhododendron had lost some leaves. It dropped to -2C. We had a heavy severe frost that my tomatos died in it. I had a very bad garden year. I l...

yuccaman

Im glad you like them and I think astrophotography is a great hobby. Its been a very warm night and there was fog. If it was clear and no fog it would have lots more stars and more detail and darker but its nice when you have a little light from the sun thats rising.That orange sky is from the fog a...

yuccaman

I been not here in a while and I have some great shots of the night sky. I do use SLR camaras that do a great job. The are 30 second exposures and I can go higher with the bulb. Without tracking you will get star trails. I will show star trails soon. The first is Saggitarius the second is Orion the ...
