Great Palm Planting Weather in Paradise

This weekend brought probably the last warm dry days before the onslaught of sweltering heat and humidity. I enlisted my forbearing husband's help in planting young palms in our yard. He took shovel & pickax in hand to dig holes in our infamous shell rock soil. Over the course of the afternoon, we planted nearly a dozen palms, including:

1) Coccothrinax camagueyana

2) Copernicia berteroana

3) Livistona benthamii

Good selection Meg, now let the the sweltering heat and humidity make them grow.  Hopefully it will rain some month.
