Barb,

Been reading the boards for a few years and even forgot my old username so had to sign up again.

I have an 8' Windmill going in the crater. I also have 3 -Musa Basjoo, to add to my current one I saved through the winter. 1-Trachycarpus Wagnerianus, 1-Trachycarpus Fortunei--7 Gal, 1-Pindo-15 Gal, 1-Needle-7 Gal and 1-Sabal Minor(blue stem palmetto) - 3 Gal on the way to my place.

I currently have 3 sago palms in the ground, 2 other "red" banana's, a couple datura's, a brugmansia, one yucca, standard japanese maple and a bunch of Canna's. I took some before pictures of my beds but don' t know how you post pictures on the forum.

Jeff,

Ooooh, those are some nice sized specimens you listed.
And an 8-footer going in...yipppppeeeeee.

Re pic posting, you probably have your photos on a hosted site (Flickr? Photobucket? PN has photo hosting but my photos were already huge in numbers by the time PN offered pic hosting).

Pic a topic when you`re ready to post pics...if you have some difficulty usually one of us can walk you through it.

Will be good to see your stuff and your yard.

The Palms should be picked up here thursday morning just before CBC News gets here. All your palms are bigger than usual that is the benefit of me starting to place orders in the winter -I will keep you Posted

Mike those are some great looking palms you got from down South. Many more people in the East will be showing off those palms planted or in pots. How many people buying your palms actually plant them?

Hey John 95% of people plant them--Better to try and fail then fail to try!
