Careful, that Washy may grow upside down.
I think the red film is supposed to go on the soil 😆 😆

Will see I guess 🙄

I'm in grow mode for sure, I'm going to hook up the medal halide bulbs in the grow room down cellar. I only have two out of the 3 bulbs, I guess 350w will have to do for now until I can get another one.

350 w will cover a good-sized area.
How's the basement temperature?

Time to get some from Community pots to individual pots.

Wasn't easy getting them out of their community pots.
Gave them a dip in SuperThrive before potting up.

Learning why palms like TALL pots, even for germination.

Made quite a mess in the basement but it was fun.
One day I will have topsoil, pots, and perlite AT THE SAME TIME 😕

I added topsoil around the seed with a SPOON (of all things!!! ) so soil wouldn't wash away.
This is when misting works better I think.

That's awesome Barb!
I hope you didn't have to drink all those double gulps 😉
What are you going to do with all those peach trees? 😯

Gulps hold beer quite nicely, saves on trips to the fridge 😆

They'll be lined up like soldiers on the patio this summer...can't wait.
Imagine a row of foxtails 😀 😀

double gulps are awesome. whats that? 64 ounces of your favorite beverage. now if you could just get 2 chili cheese dogs and a super big gulp for (USD) $1.99 you'd have lunch taken care of. Your foxtails look great. I've said this before, but this weekend I'l post a pic of young foxtail I have growing from seed. You will likey I'm sure.

I'm getting you guys confused now 😯

The front lines,lined up on the porch,like little tiny soldiers.

I like my beer to stay ice cold,so no buckets for me 😆

Yes Kent you did promise foxtail pics...waiting... 😆 😆

...trick is to save the beer until AFTER the repotting 😕
Otherwise they all lean.

Hey Kent, nice size for 3 and a half years.
Looks gorgeous.

I can never tell the difference between a Foxtail or Fishtail when they're that age.

Do you have it in full or part sun in summer?

Oooooh, wish mine were that size already.
Thanks!
Barb

they do grow very fast for a plam tree. I have one that I purchased as maybe a three footer (about the size of my pic) and three and half years later its over 7' tall. Very nice growth. I keep the younger ones in a protected area, they get summer sun from about 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The big one gets summer sun from 9:00 AM to 5 PM. good luck. I'd keep your little foxtails well protected this summer, maybe some dappled sun shine under a tree. Or, you have enough to experiment. good luck.
