There are some pictures of "the exotic plants" planted last weekend. Tried situating them close to the house:

Great job, Igor!

Those palms are beautiful!
And with the protection of the concrete block wall, they'll be a zone warmer.

Hope the banana was missed by the hail, it's a nice size.

Nice selection, ready to grow 5 feet this year

:D

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.

Very nice Igor. Good luck. Are the palms in pots in the ground or is it just appearing that way??
