chinandega81 177 Report post Posted November 23, 2020 That's gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. Do you do a lot of protecting the plants or is it a warm enough microclimate? BTW is the canal always that green? Is that from the fertilizer run off in the yards? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is green a lot in the rainy season. We are very far from the closest inlet and the water is stagnant here for the most part. In the dry season it looks much better but as you can see gets ugly in the rainy season. I don’t do any protection. It’s a good microclimate. But my luck will run out eventually and we could get zapped for sure up here. The Hydriastele beguini and the Verschaffeltia splendida are in pots and come in once or twice a year when it gets in the low 40’s or upper 30’s. Crossing my fingers it keeps staying as warm as it’s been. Edited November 23, 2020 by Cocoa Beach Jason 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad they don't get inspired by your tropical oasis! I think with the warming climate your palms and plants will do well for quite some time. I can tell you work hard on your yard, it shows. It's just a great set of pics and I enjoyed them all. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to updates on the other side of this winter! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FishEyeAquaculture 286 Report post Posted November 24, 2020 HOLY CRAP!!!! Your pictures just took me down a nostalgic trip!!!! I grew up several blocks south of you on 4th St South, I immediately recognized your house as I had friends that lived on your street. Many times I passed that house while riding a bike or skateboard during the 90s, and the landscaping sure didn't look like that then....NICE WORK!!!!! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, I moved the panama tall away from that spot to my front yard. Here it is now. Edited November 29, 2020 by Cocoa Beach Jason 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My immediate next door neighbor is a palm and aroid nut too and she has some good stuff over there. I will steal some photos from her yard and post them here at some point. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricSatBch 27 Report post Posted December 2, 2020 Hey Jason, My wife's grandmother lives a few street away and whenever I am in the neighborhood I purposely drive past your place to see your front yard. I recognized your house right away and knew somebody must be a palm tree lover. Anxious for my palms to get a few more years under them like yours. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
