Late winter check on Cold-Building plants

Allen, hope it works out to your and Chris' wishes.

And in the Ooops category, this Zamiaculcas didn't make it in the cold-building.
Oh well, that's what it gets for impersonating a Zamia

The next pic is one of three Calamondin--the oldest--it defoliates every winter while fruit is ripening.
Every summer comes back like gangbusters.
Yet another example of the range in low minimums one can expect among plants of the same species.

Allen,

I have been keeping tabs on this thread and I can't keep quiet any longer. First of all I am sorry that you have been pushed into this ordeal. Second, I can tell you without a doubt that the 3 year old has been sexually abused. My wife went through the same thing and she is still dealing with it at 36 years old. She didn't learn it from Mom. Something must be done NOW or she will be lost forever. My prayers are with you and your family.

Alchris (Allen),
I'm in on this off topic late and ceratinly don't qualify as an advisor by any stretch. I do however wish you, your family members and all concerned, the best wishes that a fellow gardener can offer in this abstract cyber-world.

Cheers and best wishes --- spring's coming for everyone in all regards.

Barrie.
