Man, that suxx but I know how you feel, I lost some stuff this winter aswell.. Get some decent soil and a raised bed would be a good idead. My trachy came just trough its second winter without no problems, also waggy from its first winter. Trachy scares me because its gets bigger quite fast and I have to make bigger cover every year 😀 But I believe proper winter protection method will do the trick, with cover, x.mas lights etc, Jim and others have shown some style for years 🙂 Anyway hang on and dont give up.

What lovely healthy plants, Godfryd.
And there's a beauty in the front left of photo! Very nice.
Since you have such a high water table/clay, would it be convenient for you to have palms only in big pots?
Then you can take them indoors during winter.
The bananas look very very good! 😀

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
