Blows my mind to see all the Canadian homeys growing such lush, tropical palms. 

 

You and @Rickybobby and @Philly J are real ones.

I have learned how not to burn my palms by watching you. Tbf I only need to bring my green homeys in for a couple weeks vs y'all having to bring yours in for 8 or 9 months as y'all are in Canada and I'm in Texas. Still- lessons learned and I've paid attention. 

 

But now I wanna buy an aquarium. So give and take.

ah be careful, during the pandemic I got a fish tank and ended up with 9 tanks and one set up at the public library!

But when I moved south, I still have them packed, and all I have set up is my 14 gallon rimless planted.

I start kicking my plants out (palms included, depending of the species), starting on March 1st, I am almost DONE!  Looking around, I still see..., African violets, one Spath (Peach lily), a Cereus cactus, some Aloe veras and a few others...   YEP!, LOTS OF WORK! Then, I spend the entire Summer in a pool, at the deep end enjoying my first year of semi-retirement. Plants start coming in again in October, and will end some time in December. 

This pic is from mid November 2021.

@subsonicdrone palms looking good, I like your raised beds and paver paths. That’s on my list of projects is get my pathways in order.

ok so i meant to update this in the spring and show my seedlings but did not get around to it

for the most part they look almost the same... except the one i gave to my sister which grew way more!

here are my two chamaerops humilis cerifera

the one on the left looks like it made its first non strap leaf

[subsonicdrone]

here is my butia odorata

not much growth over the season although the trunk may have gotten bigger

[subsonicdrone]

next up.. seems like a palm which has sprouted in a musa zebrina which was potted up in the spring

there are seeds scattered all throughout my soil from ones which i had given up on and added to my pile

[subsonicdrone]

next, my archontophoenix cunninghamiana 'illawarra'

has barely grown through this season.. but the one i gave to my sister in the spring has grown quite a bit!

[subsonicdrone]

my store bought palms grew quite a bit this year

butia, 2 chamaerops humilis and ravenea rivularis

[subsonicdrone]

ok so i know i am a day late but i took these pics yesterday

i will start with the butia

[subsonicdrone]

next up my two mediterranean fan palms

[subsonicdrone]

next my chamaerops humilis cerifera, butia odorata and archontophoenix cunninghamiana 'illawarra' seedlings

[subsonicdrone]

also my majesties or at least i think they are majesties

one i have had for a couple years now and the trunk is getting thicker

the others i rescued from the cold at the end of the season

some of those ones seem taller but skinnier trunk than mine
