YouTube thread. Announce your channel or try to convince someone else to start one. 

 

I follow @Philly J, @Rickybobby, and The Palmfather.

 

I'd really like to see @DoomsDave and @PalmatierMeg's gardens in HD. No pressure to y'all, just pure respect and admiration.

I follow @Chester B, who has the great 'Tropical PDX' channel!

The focus is more on hardy palms so not for the softies around here... Not just palms either!

I don't have a Youtube channel but Christian Faulkner aka Palmfather filmed many of his palm videos on our property. The red mulch is usually a giveaway and one of my cats made a cameo a couple times.

Mostly documenting the garden so I can look back and see how it has progressed.  Don't really care who else watches.  That's why a lot of my videos have 6 or 7 views.  

Hah, the areal view one is just awesome!

It's definitely not awesome but thanks!  Everyone once in awhile I remember I have a drone that I barely use.

Thanks Ryan.  I appreciate your input, you've been doing this a lot longer than I have.

I started a channel with my kids "William and Kate's garden", but I made it a children's channel which was a mistake.

I am going to try and make it an 'adult' channel (Allowing comments).

I haven't done anything about palms.  My collection isn't huge, but I have a few unusual things.  Maybe I will make some videos on palm trees.

I have been focusing on fruit and vegetable gardening.  And I am pushing things again.  I grew a durian years ago, but I had it covered with plastic, and a space heater.  This time I will use frost blankets, a thermostat, and a small space heater covered with a tunnel.  I am also going to try coconuts, mangosteen, and several other Garcinia.  "Achacha" -- Garcinia humilis -- is doable here.  I've had one outside in a pot for years.

I am pretty sure I can succeed with just about all of the tropicals.  Weirdly I have had the least success with coconuts.  I have never gotten on through a single winter.

People think that the tropicals need a lot of humidity.  I don't think they do.  What they need is a lot of water.

I am going to try planting coconuts directly in the ground.  I will do a Youtube series on it so you can see if it actually works.

I worked as a commercial electrician for two years -- and it is a four year apprenticeship -- so I'm not an expert, but I do know quite a bit.  So I will do a video on wiring.  I will explain the panel, the GFCI (on the first outlet), and the outdoor wiring downstream of the GFCI.   And I can show how you mount the box on strut. It can be expensive if you hire an electrician but it's reasonably cheap if you do it yourself.

I think it would be great if more Palmtalk people started making videos.

I procrastinate too much, and it may take me a while to make the videos, so I will start a thread in the Tropical Plants forum.  I will title it "My attempt to grow ultra-tropicals in Southern California'.

This business plants a a lot of palms around town.  For those that noted the Livistona nitida and Mast Trees throughout town, you may have seen some of their work.
