since they do ok in shade, im sure if you left them in the bathroom when you have a shower for bit would do just as well

I did everything for that Licuala short of flushing it around in the toilet for more humidity.
Academic, since it's dead.

Tim, You could go to Jail for leaving a Fishtail out in winter.
I know...I know...it was called Himalaya 🙄 😆

with a good mulch and if its kept dry it will survive here

Looks almost prehistoric...like the dinosaurs should come munching.
Good work on the germinating.

two month ago I got extra 500 sq. meters

Sorry, Igor, forgot to congratulate you on the extra space.
Filling in a ravine! How exciting.
Here in BC, you'd need 40 permit applications to do that...then gov't would say "no". 😉
What are you planting on that new land?

Barb

Thanks, Barb! Since the soil dumped there should have being compressed for a while I'm planning use the land for growing greens and vegetables and adding a manure and sand twice a year for the soil re-cultivation.

As for a legal aspects of the ravines fillings the US currency is a most powerful law in this bloody corrupted country. Contractor pays to the land regulatory department from money I pay to the guy. 😯 8) 😈

That occurred to me too.
Settling takes a long time, I discovered.

Good to know some things never change... 😉

I see you planting a lot of stuff there...not just vegetables 😀

those are some cool looking palms Jim. I LOVE fishtale palms........too bad they die at first freeze. 😥

Here's Caryota 'himilaya' back in 2004.........super hardy.......died after first freeze.:lol:

I think this one is going to blast off this year,it
seemed to be speeding up last year... as the weather cooled
and we headed into fall it slowed again,hopefully the Licuala
and Caryota will put on some size this year.
I would like to move them all into bigger pots this spring to
encourage them-they are forecasting another warm spring after Feb...
would be very nice after some of the cool springs we had-last year was off the charts!

March last year was 10F over the warmest we ever had!

I also saw there was a town in Minnesota that had a record high
of 57F for one particular day in March,they had a low of 61F on that day!
Just to be clear,their low temp was higher than the all-time high temp for the day!

Jim, don't count on two warm springs in a row.........what are the odds? 😕
