Where are you going to retire?
I think I might travel back and forth between Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Or I might just winter in the south? I don't know for sure? But this I do know, I will have lots of palms and other cool stuff and nice winter weather.
I wonder how many of us will travel, stay put, or move to a warmer country.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

I'm retired and I'm not in shorts, so I picked the wrong place
Southern Spain (Mediterranean) would be lovely.

I'm sure you have already started to save for retirement, but for all the younger people out there. Every year earlier you can start to save is like doubling your money at the time of retirement.canadianplant wrote:Then again, I got like 35 years to worry about retireing

Poor or not I'm still going to the VI for a month or two, I'll rent if I have to, crime in St Thomas in 25 years who knows? Second choice east coast Fla. half way down at least. Looking for a lot this year as a backup plan, someone must be looking to sell

By the way I like the East coast of Fla because of the waves, really pretty to look at if you can't move all that fast

Florida is cheap cheap right now if you buy on the west or north side and you buy out of town. Who wants to be in town (not I) I would want my own jungle.TerdalFarm wrote:Oh! I guess I assumed Corpus was less expensive.

Yeah Mike! pretty cold here!! 3 needles and 5 sabals are still unprotected!!! Plus about 25 3 gal trachies in my driveway
Needles and sabals looked mint as soon as the sun hit them!!! How are your palms doing? I'm getting ready to give them over head protection from moisture, no heat though. I bet they come out mint here!!! You'll never see 4f there, and I bet 2 days below freezing before that event would outright kill most of your unprotected yard.
It's been some time since you've seen single digits followed low 20's for a long time. I bet my baby figs will still make it with no protection to. I've seen yours

Mike, but now cold will get at the roots easier, through the exposed (above ground) pot.wussied out and dug up my favorite trachy and keep it on the porch (chilly there too)
IMHO, a bright spot in an unheated garage would probably be better for a Trachy recently dug up/potted.

I'm sorry I should have been specific, I call the indoor porch room the "porch".....Sunny and never lower than 50 in there at night....in the 60's and seventies during sunny days... A real lifesaver for storing plants....lucky1 wrote:Mike, but now cold will get at the roots easier, through the exposed (above ground) pot.wussied out and dug up my favorite trachy and keep it on the porch (chilly there too)

I give warmer palms a very mild feed in the winter with every watering.
Geez, All of us Fla. people need to retire farther south. Coral gables 31f tonight, guess no good Fairchild Gardens pictures for ya'll again this year. It frosted 2 days before I got there last year and everything was crapping out. I hope it holds out this year for some good pictures. I might have to blend last years with this years

Most people say "no way, they can't grow in winter".
My warm-winter palms are getting mild fert right through winter too.
