Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself since I am new to this forum. I have only been gardening since 2007 when I purchased my house. And quickly became a hoarder of palms and agaves. Here are a few pics of my palms today.

chadec,

Great plants, great yard.

Glad to see another PVC-protection-builder...
Very functional plus it doesn't tear plastic covers.

It'll be good to watch them grow this year.
Thanks!

Barb

Thanks Barb, I really like the pvc. Speacially since I dont use heat. Plus they go together in mins. unlike the wooden ones I used in the past.

Glenn, I hate I didnt post any summer pics for you guys. Since your suffering from cabin fever, I'll throw in a pic from last yr.

Thanks for your kind comments and may spring come early.

Thanks guys/ girls

Adam Im pretty sure those are teacups. I know there are two different variations but they didnt come marked.

Mike I really want some mature palms before I start playing with more tropical palms. Plus I still need have a lot to learn. Then take in account that I am afraid of heights. Aint no 20' tree getting covered in my yard.

Barb, I cant wait to see what eveyone here has. I am super impressed that so many here grows washys. One palm I have been unsure about due to their fast growth rate.

Thanks guy, glad to be here on this forum.

Jim I have purchased 20 new agaves this winter. Them things gonna be planted everywhere. Plus I am doubling my rock garden again. Its gonna be about 30 x40.

Ninja my sabal palms were purchased as a blue pots from lowes. They were tagged as minors. But after two summer they both are trunking. My small Tifton hardy sabals' spear pulled. If it recovers I'll have to relocate it to sunnier spot.
