Finally it's above freezing! Check out our eastern parts of country where winter was not so mild as here:

I love that rocky trail! Sun, rocks, dirt, cacti, agave, yuccas! And snow and some more snow here

marceli

The winter is retreating, finally. I hope this time for good. But as a bonus we got rain in subzero temps

marceli

Sorry to hear that. They looked great

Our local sellers tell people that eucs can grow in our climate... such a lie, just to make money.

And I was angry about my -17C/2F this morning!

marceli

Lowest temp so far is -6C/but local forecast says in two weeks it's supposed to be warm again. We'll see...

marceli

Winter is arrived but don't know if it last long. It's about 5inch. of snow but it's pretty warm: -2.5C/27F in the morning and +1C/34F now. Unfortunately it's raining a little. I hate that kind of weather

Barb

Yes, this is unusual along with these temperatures. The good thing is that Spring is getting closer

marceli

Damn, another hurricane today. I'm hoping this time my winter protection won't be damaged!

marceli

Well, good times are fading away. Winter is coming this way. In 2 weeks I'm supposed to be frozen and snow covered. Autumn is about to be over

marceli

I'm worried about the color, but this is due to very little sunlight I guess.

marceli

Shrinking and shrinking:

marceli

This is what I call GH !!! Niiice!

marceli

The magic works so far! U want one?

Y. elegantissima / schellenbaum:

marceli

It had some water when the hurricane came.

This bottle was picked to keep the arctic cold at bay

marceli

Guys what the heck is happening to the N. America? You're supposed to be warmer than us. Still feels like late Autumn here: 41F

marceli

Great agave!

marceli

marceli

It's been so warm here that my magnolia starts producing tiny flower buds... It's not good cuz the real winter may come any time

Rather than "someone", stick a coffee cup in there for scale.

Barb

Nah! Coffee cup would be way too small, but I should have written 'something' - you got me there!

marceli

Hurricane destroyed my protection again, but I'm not giving up 8) Still looks and feels like early Spring with temperatures +10C/50F during the day! Yuccas under the big polytunnel: http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/palmiarnia/IMG_4342_zps376a49cd.jpg Y. gloriosa/recurvifolia complex - still ...

marceli

It's too early to tell if they suffered any frost damage. Mine looked great but when the Spring came and temperatures went higher it turned brown

Fingers crossed for ya!

marceli

Send some of this warmth here. Not that I'm complaining, cuz its nice and mild so far

marceli

There's a river near, so I could plant some of them there, but I'm afraid they take over

marceli

Well, gotta be patient so waiting for a Spring then!

Thanks again

marceli

Look what I found in my mail!

Thank you, Cameron!

Is it wise to start germination now or better wait for Spring? I heard it grows very fast and needs a lot of sun to keep going.

marceli

Y. nana - my mostly desired yuccas

You guys know that no one here sells them? Hoping Mesa Garden is going to have them this January

marceli

Ladies & gents look at mine: http://www.accuweather.com/en/pl/plock/ ... r=1/1/2014

Please, make it tru!

marceli

-6C/21F... in September

then very mild

marceli

Great specimen. Love the color!

This year, following your example, I'm gonna buy some j-tree seeds for sure!

Barb

The wind was blowing about 60mph, so I'm afraid a good breakfast wouldn't be enough

The most important thing is that Xavier its gone now and I can repair the damage.

marceli

What the heck? Isn't that a bit too cold for your climate? Even here we have far warmer nights so far

My new low is -5C/23F

marceli

lucky1 wrote:Ouch! Darn Xavier!
Can you patch the plastic? or add another layer over the whole thing?

Barb

Impossible to do that with so strong wind. Felt like I was holding a parachute

marceli

My plants under a 'teepee' are no longer covered due to the Hurricane Xavier. He torn apart their winter cover: http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/palmiarnia/IMG_4333_zpsf98dc692.jpg My other polytunnel ad plants growing there are luckily safe: http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/palmiarn...

marceli

You guys get cold and we get nasty hurricane with blizzards. Awful weather!

marceli

Barb: -12C? Wow, that's cold for early December, even for me

marceli

sidpook wrote:you had a horrible winter last year, right Marceli?

Horrible in terms of cold duration. Temperatures were not so bad as winter 2011/2012.

marceli

And I was angry about today's first snowfall and -3C at night...
