A friend said "so, what have you been up to lately?"I didn't dare tell her that bringing plants outside for the day and then back inside at night was taking up ALL my time and energy.So they're left outside now.-1C overnight, thinning the herd if they croak, but the roof should help.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/8591796025/" title="003 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8523/8591796025_be7bcbfdf6_c.jpg" width="600" height="800" alt="003"></a>Even the overwintered (potted up) geraniums are starting to flower.Learned the trick is to give them really good light near an East window.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/8591794119/" title="002 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8246/8591794119_32148c96f6_c.jpg" width="600" height="800" alt="002"></a>Cordyline Red Star will be planted today (fingers crossed).<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/8591468506/" title="006 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8391/8591468506_7e286706e1_c.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="006"></a>All this "in and out" stuff was getting as boring as an adult film. :lol: Barb

Topic starter

the average low is above freezing and the average high is around 60F !

About time you started to ramp up, Jim.
We know what you'll be doing today. 😀

Andy, wow, those are sooooooo amazing. You lucky duckie.

The Butia/Jub is certainly well grown, great size.

They do look nice don't they 8) I guess my Wife might notice all that money gone from her bank account 😉 I do think that Rostrata is a steal at £245. Most expensive by far was the Elata (rarity value) Cheapest was the treculeana which was £20 cheaper than the Rostrata
The ButiaXjubaea clocked in at £175 ...good value for a hybrid of that size...... and now the long wait 🙁
