FLORIDA!! South West Coast. My retire date in August 31st 2037. I'll be 56.. 😯

Nice! 56...sounds like a good year to retire to me. 8)

Poor or not I'm still going to the VI for a month or two, I'll rent if I have to, crime in St Thomas in 25 years 🙄 who knows? Second choice east coast Fla. half way down at least. Looking for a lot this year as a backup plan, someone must be looking to sell 😀

Bill

By the way I like the East coast of Fla because of the waves, really pretty to look at if you can't move all that fast 😆 😆 😆

I hope you find a nice one, this is a good time to buy. 😀

I thought about buying a lot in florida, but my wife wont let me buy anymore land. And it is probably a good thing. 🙄 😆

Even though I'm young Land Is Key! I've bought only two lots not including my house and always made money. Your right now is the time, I wish I had the money 😆 I might have to come up with a way.

Bill

Given the pitiful state of our finances, I'm guessing we'll live in a hut made of fronds of Attelea cohune; Sabal mauritamius leaves being out of our budget. 😆

lol....

Since we're pretty close in age Bill maybe we'll be neighbours down there???

In 14 years i will be 56 and done. We are looking at Naples Melbourne FL and Corpus Christi TX. We want a Cheap condo beach front for 160k. Have found some nice ones in the daytona area . i like how warm Corpus Christi is in the winter myself but Fl is a bit cheaper..

Oh! I guess I assumed Corpus was less expensive.

Florida is cheap cheap right now if you buy on the west or north side and you buy out of town. Who wants to be in town (not I) I would want my own jungle. 😀

Hands down canary islands if possible one of my favorite places ive been. Also the best weather on earth here is there mean temps.

Holy word Bill! It's only 9 F in Mass right now...UGH!!!!!

Costa Rica for us.People are so nice. We would be snow birds between Nov-April which is also their dry season . Hot and sunny everyday. Surfs up!

Yeah Mike! pretty cold here!! 3 needles and 5 sabals are still unprotected!!! Plus about 25 3 gal trachies in my driveway 😥

Needles and sabals looked mint as soon as the sun hit them!!! How are your palms doing? I'm getting ready to give them over head protection from moisture, no heat though. I bet they come out mint here!!! You'll never see 4f there, and I bet 2 days below freezing before that event would outright kill most of your unprotected yard.

It's been some time since you've seen single digits followed low 20's for a long time. I bet my baby figs will still make it with no protection to. I've seen yours 😉

It's pretty cold here, but not like taht although the fish pond and lake is alreay frozen over: early for us. Bananas are cut back and myuulched and covered...Palms doing ok, I also brought a lot of stuff indoors and wussied out and dug up my fvorite trachy and keep it ont he porch (chilly there too) I just don't want to lose another youn g one like last year.....

wussied out and dug up my favorite trachy and keep it on the porch (chilly there too)

Mike, but now cold will get at the roots easier, through the exposed (above ground) pot.

IMHO, a bright spot in an unheated garage would probably be better for a Trachy recently dug up/potted. 😉

I'm sorry I should have been specific, I call the indoor porch room the "porch".....Sunny and never lower than 50 in there at night....in the 60's and seventies during sunny days... A real lifesaver for storing plants....

BTW Do any of you feed your palms in winter or just let them be????
