Thank you. I always complain about the work in the fall, but forget in the spring when it's so much fun

Thank you. And I love your videos that you post!

You're just a little north of me. What kind of tropicals do you have?

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 I add palms in the spring to add the tropical flair and some annuals. I use perennials as the bulk of the plantings, mostly hostas, hibiscus, liguleria, ferns, brunnera, solomons seal. ground covers mainly ajuga, myrtle, and creeping jenny. also two red abyssinian bananas i overwintered and hopefully will spring back this season, i just potted then up two weeks ago and lightly watered them to coax them awake.

You're welcome

Thank you Jeff! Might be more "crazy" than inspiration :)

Thanks!

Thanks!!

Thank you James. I wouldn't be able to do any of this without following your great videos! By the way I think everyone of your Washingtonia Robusta seeds from Florida you gave me came up. I have probably 30 small washys now... some not so small.

HI there. I have Brown Turkey Figs, Chicago Hardy Figs, and a few other varieties I don't remember.

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 thanks again !

Thank you. I hope you have some great tropical plants in Hungary

Thank you. And let me know what plants you are pushing. I'm always interested in what other gardeners are doing and what they are planting

Hi David. They are expensive. I'm always looking for a better way. My windmills (Trachycarpus) are much easier to do and no insulation board. I'm hoping to post a video later this week when I finish.

What plants are you looking for?

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 I was looking for a couple of windmill palms. I heard those can tolerate the cold well up here

@@tomlowtwo7467 There are several good places depending on the size you want. CT Palms and Island Wide Palms have large ones. Small ones are easy to find. I have baby ones if you want really small

These are C9 lights. They give heat off.

I do love living in NY. This way I get to enjoy both

It can vary with the amount of lights you use. My goal is to keep the temp below 50F (10C) but above 35F (1.7C) You have to adjust the amount of bulbs to get what you want. I also use thermocubes as backup

Let’s hope so!

They go dormant and do just fine.

Hi Dave. No... I do nothing with them and the one on the north part of the pool has been in the ground about 5 years. There is a drop off just where they are planted so I think it drains well

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 thanks for the info. I box all my palms using polycarbonate panels. Just purchased a rostrata this year and didn't get a chance to plant, looking for a dry spot. I am in zone 6b in Ontario.

@@davepolowick4535 I'm going to have to look into that. I'm sure they are not cheap. In the US the insulation boards are close to $50 USD for a 4 x 8 panel

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 polycarbonate panels I believe are about the same price as an R10 insulation board, but during the day time the enclosure heats up with sun so they grow some over the winter which is a bonus!
