Thanks for fixing the links Laaz. I will not be planting this year. I will have to keep moving the pots around until the wife approves of there final resting place. I am definatley trying to go Palmy on the San Juan Island. After being a transplant from florida we miss our palms.

A few of them will spend the winter on the porch to see how they winter over. The rest will be going in a cabin / greenhouse.

Erik how did the sacrificial Mule palms do that you planted last year? I would like a couple of the bigger ones but doubt I`ll ever see any here in B.C. Thanks for the pics.

Gorgeous palms Erik.
I bet your wife will find spots for them right away to get that tropical feel sooner.
Can't wait to see planted pics.

Sorry about the Mules croaking...what a shame.

Great house! The "alcove" shapes (between windows) will afford a nice microclimate ... and two storeys is great!
