Kansas' Front Yard pic 5/1/2008
Here is my front yard. Hard to tell, but there are actually two "Madagascar Palms" in front of the Yucca. They Yucca BTW is still hanging on to leaves that died this Winter so it looks scraggly. Middle there is a Dioon Edule and beside it a Revoluta. On the side is my "Snowball Verbanium" tree that is smelling "OH MY GOD WONDERFUL" right now.
Later, when the sun moves around, I'll take a pic of the back yard which is full of Cycad/Dioon/Ecephalartos/Palm

Washy`s
Wes depends on what size Washy your talking about. From seedling stage it normally takes two years under optimum growing conditions to get to 3 gal size they really pick up speed from here as long as they go into larger a size pot yearly. You`ll have a few years before they outgrow your greenhouse. How are those Washy seedlings doing from the seeds I sent?

Re: Washy`s
OKie, three of them I know are doing great. I need to pot them up a size. Thanks so much again.Okanagan desert-palms wrote:Wes depends on what size Washy your talking about.

Laaz, as I wrote earlier and Okie was speaking of, I was thinking of planting a Washy in the greenhouse, actually PLANTING it in the greenhouse. However, now that I think about it, maybe I should go with a Butia which is more hardy and a bit slower growing. What would you think about sending me a good sized sappling and me planting it in the grenhouse? Would it grow well you think?

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.

Nicely done Wes. The plantings and your place looks great. Its been a slow warm up this springtime here in Kansas , hopefully we'll get some heat soon and things will start to take off.
Burying containers is hard work and you did a good job. Do you bring any bugs inside in the fall when you dig that stuff up?

OP, this Spring is REDICULOUS! We should be in the 70's right now, but we are still in the 50's. I am sick of this.
The first year I didn't have my green house, I had bugs pretty bad. But this Winter I had everything in the greenhouse because the wife was tired of the bugs last year. So no, bugs were not a problem this Winter.
