storm is on the way and they are already mentioning a possible blizzard
with heavy snow possible

Kansas state got hit badly, glad you only got 6 inches.
Even heavy snow can melt really fast as long as the sun's shining in March.
March could still surprise you, Jim, although not as much as last year...when the heatwave hit early.

Glad to hear someone is getting some warmer temps...

They tend to underestimate temps this time of year but with the snow cover-it won't go up to much.

Seeds
I don't uncover my palms unless it's staying in the 40s minimum(45F+) for highs or better
even though the bigger Trachys can take it-doesn't make any sense to uncover them now though 😯

Spear-pull occurs where the growth comes out at the center point-even some kind of clear cover would create some
heat during the day-I don't blame you for wanting to uncover them now-as soon as the weather breaks,my "bigger"
Trachys will be coming out to play-whenever that is....I keep forgetting it's only Feb!

In answer to the other question-

C.H. and Fortunei

They are already backing down on the blizzard talk-we'll see.....

If Steve from Alabama has any Princeps I would go through him-best sized plants for the money....e-bay name is North of Florida palms I believe.....otherwise

but with the snow cover-it won't go up to much.

I'd be out there scraping the snow off.
Learned it from you. :fart: 😆

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.

Your welcome I wounder if I should try one of the avaes in my garden. I like trying new plants. hents the Name InsanePalmNinja or something like that.

I guess we are all the lucky ones 😯

Barb

Did you just fart on me?

I tried shoveling the snow away before-did the whole front yard....
just not worth it with temps staying cold and maybe some more snow...

Need to be crazy for a reason or people will laugh at you 😉
