Balcony tidied up before protective cover is installed in the next few days

[Mazat]

We tidied up the balcony so that we can soon build a shelter. Some impressions before that 😃

Wow! You have a complete mini- jungle there. I can see why you wanted to add space for your collection. Some nice healthy plants there. Harry

We discovered you, Mazat. You have a jungle in Switzerland. We will call the police and authorities. You have an exotic and very beautiful jungle.

It’s a jungle out there! It will make a difference a winter cover.

There’s no need for the palm police yet, it only gets noticed when you kill more than 3 palms each winter. But it does go on report! I think @JohnAndSancho has had a visit he known to them as the Mississippi  black plague palm killer, but he keeps on bribing them with banana plants and gets off! 🤣

Excuse me I haven't killed anything in at least 3 days. 

 

But for every one I kill now, I'm replacing it with 10.

Oh sorry it should have read every 3 days silly typo. You must be running out of banana plants by now then you’re favourite bribery material. 🤣

Yes, Richard.

It protects against cold winds—called bise—and it stays about 3-4 degrees Celsius warmer than down in the community garden, which is a lot. Sagex insulates well. We actually wanted to leave it longer, i.e., leave it open. But it would be a shame. Once, when we hadn't done anything, the CIDP lost all its leaves, but then it came back after temperatures dropped to -9 degrees Celsius. Sabine was very impressed by this resilience, and so was I, of course.

then you have a lot to do, dear John 🤣

We estimate that it will take at least two hours to apply all of the protection, possibly longer, because we have to be careful—the Phoenix family likes to sting 😬
