You Know You're a Palm Nut When:
You take a shower with the bathroom door open so the humidity can get in the next room.
You are more interested in trying to ID the palms in the back ground as you watch CSI Miami.
You have to park your car in the driveway because your two car garage is full of palms....LOL lot of guilty looks about this one!
IF you drive 50 miles with your car looking like this.....
Sorry Barb, I couldn't resist.

You buy a hygrometer and put the remote sensors in the middle of your palms (and bananas).
Your spouse puts palm seedlings in your bedroom so that she can put the humidifier in the same room.
Your spouse rides in the back seat and the new palm rides in the front seat.

Time to resurrect this fun thread, and add more.
...when the softest flannel bedsheet is on the wood floor around the palms at the window (to catch misting drips).
Old bargain version is on the bed.
...during bathroom renovations, you select a pedestal sink so you have space for a palm.
And no place to store facecloths, towels or TP anymore.

You turn the heat way up(80F) to get some extra growth out of your indoor palms.....
until the $300 bill comes for your 1 bedroom apt and you decide they do most of their
growing in summer anyway-thermostat goes back down to 60F

During a cool/non-existant spring, you haul 90 pound palms out the door mid-morning every day, only to haul them back in at supper time.

I have that season's pass. My chiropractor referred me to a physician, who ordered MRI's of my lower back. After seeing those, he is sending me to an orthopedic doc. next week. I think the actual palms are the cheap part of this hobby.
As for money, I'm selling the goats

as they did a number today on the avatar Butia's emerging spear.
Anyway, all palms are out of the house until October frost or a goat gets them

Your plants are to big to bring up stairs so
you haul them upstairs unplanted and pot them up upstairs.

You have sooooooo many palms, you need to consider who'll get them and add the name to the will.
(coz nobody else wants them)

.... first thing you do when you wake up in the morning is check your remote temperature sensors in your plam huts to see what the low/high was last night to determine if your heat came on and worked properly. Its the simple things in life that bring great joy.

Not hotter summers.

Colder than normal here, but without any snow it feels much warmer.

I`ll add to this. You go to Mexico meet some new friends that know nothing about palms. Rent a car ask them to come for a drive. You then see a palm nursery on the other side of the road do a u turn and invite your new friends to look at all the palms while you take pics. Now drive a little father see Christmas palms with ripe seeds got to stop again run across 4 lanes of traffic to collect seeds. We finally make it to the flea market 2 hours later and I don`t buy a thing. Spend the next day "friends decline any more free rides with us" driving down the coast on the hunt for more seeds. Put seeds in pockets of my shorts and my fiance`s laundry to smuggle home . Barb I have some seeds for you duty free! Feliz Navidad
