Tim, trachies / rhodos look great.
Good work.

And this year, you're planting a Phoenix again, if I recall.

What a whack of snow ... :?

How are things coming along in the GH?

Nope, scrapped the phoenix idea. Planting a 8' tall magnolia grandiflora edith bogue there that a nursery is ordering in for me. I made a greenhouse video that I'm uploading to Youtube (takes hours to upload these things). I'll post that update soon!
