I know I've used this one before, but it always gets me funny reactions:
"You heat the house with wood and the trees with electricity?!?"

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

You turn the heat way up(80F) to get some extra growth out of your indoor palms.....
until the $300 bill comes for your 1 bedroom apt and you decide they do most of their
growing in summer anyway-thermostat goes back down to 60F

... when you move 2500km accross the country, with a huge box full of plants..... only to move back 2 years later, with a even bigger box to bring some home. rather then game consoles and bedding, and pet fish ( went to a great home BTW)

During a cool/non-existant spring, you haul 90 pound palms out the door mid-morning every day, only to haul them back in at supper time.
Considering a season's pass with the Chiropractor... 😕

I have that season's pass. My chiropractor referred me to a physician, who ordered MRI's of my lower back. After seeing those, he is sending me to an orthopedic doc. next week. I think the actual palms are the cheap part of this hobby.
😯
As for money, I'm selling the goats

as they did a number today on the avatar Butia's emerging spear. 👿
Anyway, all palms are out of the house until October frost or a goat gets them 😆

......when your palms are not in the ground yet and you have already bought thermo cubes and c9 Xmas lights!

Your plants are to big to bring up stairs so
you haul them upstairs unplanted and pot them up upstairs.

Good one.
W did that with my jelly palm this week--dug it up from the farm and took it to a friend's house.
I guess we're both palm nuts.....

Guilty! Moved 30km from zone 6a to zone 7a with plenty of south facing walls and fenceline.

You have sooooooo many palms, you need to consider who'll get them and add the name to the will.
(coz nobody else wants them) :evil3:

.... first thing you do when you wake up in the morning is check your remote temperature sensors in your plam huts to see what the low/high was last night to determine if your heat came on and worked properly. Its the simple things in life that bring great joy.

where it's cold in winter (always)
and hot in summer (usually)
