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!

    Dear Bill :)

    Thanks for remembering me.... i went to the temple with my kid & wife and also went out for lunch & dinner with my whole family(i.e my mom & dad,and my brother's family).

    And by the way you are right,i have started growing grey hairs and iam wearing spectacles for my eyes for close & distance vision now ! :mrlooney:

    As its raining these days here heavily i did not plant any palm as of now,since most of the collected palms in my collection are all dry region varities...So may be this summer i would plant a few palms in our garden.And i promise you will visuals of that operation. :winkie:

    And also my birthday wishes to Dear Ronny & Dear Ciczi....:)

    Thanks & Love,

    Kris :)
