It's good to let them breath some fresh air. :) I'm thinking of bringing my big trachy out of the garage
so i can get some space back. :)

Barb, It is good to let them breathe. Now stop checking them and go back to bed!

Going down to -7c overnight and tomorrow night here. So I put the boxes back on the three palms that were exposed the past week. This should be the last time before they're all let loose! let's hope!

Thanks folks! :D

Jay how about some pics of your rostratas.
Been a while since we've seen 'em.
And your trachy!

Yup...little "big mamas" are going in the ground this year.
Will put up signs so H doesn't pull them thinking they're weeds. :|

I'm really really looking forward to seeing everyone's stuff outdoors...uncovered and happy.
And seeing Jim's shoes again.

:lol:
You're lower on the crazy quotient, Mike :lol:

Yesterday's overnight f/cast was -4C (24.8F), so, yup, dragged everything back inside
:x :x

And it was only -1C (30.2F).
Better safe than sorry.
But leaving 'em inside.

My back can't handle all that.
actually a little lower...pain in the ***. :roll:

Nice photos!

I moved all but 7 pots outside yesterday.
Will move a bunch of them back in tonight, and more tomorrow night. Oh, well. My exercise regime. :lol:
