Eric,I empathize. The older USDA map puts me in zone 6, but the arborday map puts me in zone 7. What to do?Paul's method works. What I do is go with t...

Seriously nice photos, Barb :D

Barb,I remember that thread. I was wondering is there was post-winter follow-up by folks who had used it. I guess this thread is it. --Erik

Kirk,you're right. You have to plan on doing your own palm ID, which I think turns off many prospective new-comings to the hobby. We need more in the ...

Wow!I have to show that to W. She talks about having to someday move her "girls" with her tractor. This will help her visualize what that will look li...
