Amazing palm... what is it like to garden in the tropics? I sometimes wish we didn't have winter... (only sometimes!)

Thank you Scotkat for your appreciation. Lori, it is lovelu gardening in the topics, like an everlasting holiday. Of course there are times it is very humid and not everyone can stand that, but I do. I just love the heat. Soil is very good here and not hard digging.

I'm not especially good in the humidity and heat but imagine that might need a process of acclimatisation... well maybe some day I'll have a tropical holiday.
