Hi from Ontario

Post by ScottyON » Wed Sep 09, 2009 3:01 pm

Hey everybody,

My name is Scott and I live in Kingston Ontario. I have dreamed for years to have palm trees growing outside my home. My wife and I purchased our first home last November. I've been diggin in the garden since May. It was suggested to me by Bill from MA to join this form so I could meet up with others who share my obsession and to learn ways to care for my palms over the winter. Can't wait to meet you all.

Scott

Welcome!

I'll be closest in proximity to you, being perhaps 20km north of the city!
