Here is the Washy...4 new leaves on it when it was busted out April 16th.
The latest spear will be leaf #7 for this year,not a bad start.
I guess hitting 120F in the enclosure before I got home got it going-lol
Leaves are a little flimsy coming out of the protect.

I'm so impressed with your success with Washies. Mine always rotted when I tried to protect them over winter.

Ditto what Erik said.
7th leaf is incredible for mid-May.
Yup...120F would do it 😆 😆
My two Washies don't look great.

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

Thx Erik
Imagine what mine would look like if it didn't grow those!
All the leaves from last year were moldy in the enclosure...
pretty hard to keep the leaves from touching the side.
