Splendid start to a "Container Ranch". (But don't let it get there)

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

This one seems to have a little sunburn from where I had it... These'll be getting only 1/2day sun... They'll be alone over there until I get a few more... :)
