Your cacti look great. I think next year I'll use large tents to cover my cacti. After a quick look everything is gonna make it. But some damage where agaves touched the protection. Love thoughs purple cacti, do you have an id for them?
All your palms look great. Any spears pull?

I uncovered everthing last weekend then another cold front hit us. We've had freezing rain. All palms are uncovered for good at this point. If they cant handle 23F then they are not from hardy stock.
Getting ready for a Honeymoon!
So I'll post photos of eveything in an intro post in March.
Jim, thanks for the info on GW. Should have a fern before I leave. Would hate for it to sit on my carport for a week. 😯

Nobody panics when people plant normal trees because its part of the plan... if someone plants a Palm EVERYONE LOSES THERE MINDS!

Hi Chadec,
Welcome to the PN! What are these two purplish beauties behind the Agave? Nandina plants?

Igor, those are nandina heavenly bamboo. Great evergreen for me here. With lots of color.
Thanks ninja, that agave is just a baby. One of 80 in the yard or building.
Thanks Lucky1, all the palms look good. Our temps have been up and down. This morning was our low for the yr. at 17F.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Plants look good as usual -I love that bubble protection in the first image. Reminds me of that movie Bubble Boy.
Awesome Dude!

Hey Tina....what did you run away for?
Never forget that line from JT in Bubbleboy...ahem,the original one 😀
Thanks!
Hard to believe last year even my Washy was uncovered for good only 11 days from now!
What a difference a year can make...still spoiled from last year...4-8" of snow predicted tomorrow
and no real warmup in sight-tell me we are almost there....I may not make it-LOL-NOT!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything was covered again and heated last night-even without snow cover(for weeks)we still managed 3F last night-argh!

^^^ Jim, I know what you mean. Had almost two weeks where I had the tops off of all my protection cages/barrels...and was even thinking of starting up my stream to one of my ponds.....then winter came back with a vengeance. Now maybe 3 storms in 10 days?? Have 8 Palms I've bought on line on HOLD till better weather comes so they can be shipped. February is going to D R A G on I think.
