Looking good Barb! Gotta love the sun, as you can see from Tim we got some white stuff with a bunch of rain. 100 trachies covered in snow priceless :roll: Good thing it's gone as fast as it came. The rain was nice even though it was cold. Sunny and 50's for the weekend, maybe there wrong and it will...

Hey Paul, Some palms actually have both parts to make seeds, for instance sabal minor does everything on it's own. In rare cases trachies can actually do the same but like I said it's rare. To answer your trachy question the male flower opens up first and is bright yellow, it also has a more open lo...

The jungle in Costa Rica was something to see for sure, I wish back when I was there I knew more about the plants and trees. I really need to look back and see if I can find some of those pictures, I've looked a few times for them in the past, they must be packed away somewhere. I'm sure I took more...

Wow Jim, things are looking fantastic this year! The ferns look amazing, I'm really surprised they stayed that green with the lights on them all winter, the lower temps really did them wonders. The ferns are going to be crazy nice this summer, I can't wait to see how big they get by October. The pal...

That is super aggravating Barb, this is the time of the year they should be kickin ass too. They should just send you two new inverters and a tech to climb up and see what's up with the braking system. Or they should at least pay up for the energy you would have produced. Sorry to hear that :cry: Bill

One of the super high quality (not) thermo cubes went bad in one of the washy huts, so that's trying to die on me right now. I guess time will tell on that one, I've done all I can do, or should say all I'm going to do. There's plenty of palms waiting to jump in it's grave in the greenhouse though. ...

Hey Erik, I'm sure at some point I wrote to you that copper fungicide can be toxic to your plants as did Penny. I think the point we where trying to get across was not to Over Use it. Copper fungicide is a very appropriate product to use in a situation like yours now. Your palms could be in some ser...

Thanks Paul! Looks like you'll be planting some tr...

Welcome aboard Paul, I'm right outside of Providence. I liked your pictures from Aruba, the last time I was there the natural bridge was still there, so it's been awhile now, wonderful island and super nice people there. Even though we'll never look like Aruba here in the NE, we do our best :wink: H...

Oh, Man Jim :cry: That is tough buddy, I was hoping it looked better in my mind after talking yesterday. I wonder if you could just cut a hole in the south side end and take a peek in there before you remove the snow off it. If it looks ok you could just bury the part you cut open with snow, there's...

Snow
Jesse, We didn't get hit as bad as the middle of the state into New Hampshire. I think we got about 8-11" or so between the two storms, hard to tell since it rained most of the day yesterday. Another one Saturday, wonderful. It might be rain again, we'll see. Any way you slice it there is a maj...

Nice find Mike. They've been there for years now, a guy named Steve planted them and others all around that area over the years. I'm pretty sure they produced seeds last year.

We have SO MUCH SNOW now, the piles are freakin huge everywhere.
I'm about ready for it to stop how about you Tim? If we get another blizzard I will not be happy
Your mag looks ok, better then mine. Hope that rostrata is ok.
