nice work, looks like you have some nice sized plants to care for. BTW - nice tractor, makes diggin' holes for big wahy's much easier. Those washy's are of good size. will you need to protect those in your zone? or just let them go and see what survives.

I'll protect them. I've never seen a Washingtonia anywhere in Western North Carolina. I'm going to take every precaution to make sure they make it through the winter here.

Thanks. I didn't know the names of either of them. They have to be brought in for the winter right?
