Hi,
your garden looks great, it still has a nice tropical look.......I also see that you put a good moisture protection to the agaves, cacti & yuccas, let's hope for a mild winter

hardyjim · Post by **hardyjim** » Tue Oct 27, 2015 7:52 am

Thanks Edmar

Yea...maybe we are do for a good winter...
last year it started in November so...at least
a nice long warm fall/early winter is in order....

we can hope.

hardyjim · Post by **hardyjim** » Wed Oct 28, 2015 5:09 pm

Passiflora caerulea...

Looks great, Jim! So, what has been your coldest so far? Well above freezing, obviously.

hardyjim · Post by **hardyjim** » Thu Oct 29, 2015 4:35 pm

I think it hit 30F here one night,it was however 26F north of here at the airport

TerdalFarm · Post by **TerdalFarm** » Thu Oct 29, 2015 4:50 pm

Been crazy warm so far. The Tulsa area has barely hit the upper 40s' we usually have a freeze by now. Manzanita, Oregon hasn't been below 50 oF yet.

hardyjim · Post by **hardyjim** » Thu Oct 29, 2015 7:46 pm

It would appear that El-Nino is on the job so far.

Wow, everything is still looking great. I think we may have actually gotten colder than you so far Jim. I cut my bananas down yesterday cause they looked like crap. How long is your Fall forcasted to continue?

hardyjim · Post by **hardyjim** » Sun Nov 01, 2015 6:28 am

Looks pretty dang good to me-
I wont even have to cover the T.ferns yet,
nice to be able to enjoy them.

Even when it cools back more to "normal" its still
sunny,nice Trachy weather!

Next ten days-no colder than its been with only one dip below freezing.

Those are really good temps. Just looking at my futurecast and it appears we are not dropping below 30F until Dec 15th. Should give my new trachy 2 1/2 months before the hard freeze. I do feel that Jan and Feb will make up for the short winter.

TerdalFarm · Post by **TerdalFarm** » Sun Nov 01, 2015 10:36 am

Wow! That's amazing!

I look forward to garden pics from you in November, for a change.

hardyjim · Post by **hardyjim** » Sun Nov 01, 2015 4:54 pm

Nice temps to see for sure...and...they just raised the temps on
the back end of the forecast so,no 40s for highs,just 50s after the warmup.
It was 75F here today-the plants look great,still have Castor,Alocasia,Bananas
Colocasia and T.ferns going and they look pretty dang good considering its November
