Late palm planting today, grass and fish for the small pond, planted small cordylines in the Princess palm pond area, fixed the veggie fence, bought a chicken coop, planted marigolds to keep the bugs off the veggies. Let's go to the video tape.

Planted Chambeyronia hookerii, Dypsis pembana, Dypsis leptocheilos and one sad looking Satakentia.

This was one of those brown pembanas turned green. I placed him between two of his elders, this type of planting is known as "Pembana Pollution". The palms aren't as yellow as they appear in the pic, the flash has done them no favours, but yellow is setting in. Remember most of these were transplants so I expected a slow start.

The Chambeyronia hookerii planted between two watermelon wailers. This type of planting is known as "Chamby of Horrors".

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!

Aha ! gotcha ~ :rolleyes: i remember you saying ina previous post when you first moved in "no jungle this time !"

Looks like the jungle is coming back and will look fantastic in no time at all . Do you still have all those Bromiliads from the old place to eventually put under the palms ?
