Front yard update - December 10th, 2011

Post by wxman »

Here is a video update of my palms and BLEs.

It's been below freezing every day for the last week (highs and lows). Coldest night has been around 6F.

Plants (and yard) look great, Tim!

Glad you took the Tikis inside for winter.

Good color on the palms in their huts.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Yes, great video. Thanks for making the effort.
Trachies should do great in those huts. :D
Yucca "colour guard" look like those around here. They'll be fine.
Magnolia should be fine for you as well. I don't think you really need the sun protection, so predict you'll skip that next year.
