    Hard to see all the palms go for the winter. More sad to see all your flowers gone. They were still looking so amazing. It’s really hard to pull things out when they are still looking so good.

    I dont know how you do this every year?. It would crush me to rip every thing out like you do. I had to have a lay down when you clipped the Pharaohs Masks off. Very full video Jeff. Stay warm this winter.

      Thank you! I used to hate cutting everything out but I think it's just become second nature after all of these years. The Pharaoh's mask actually have all seemed to overwinter much better with heavy cut back, but the first year I tried it I also felt icky about cutting them.

    Hi Jeff! It was sad seeing the annuals go, then the palms, but loved seeing the trunks on the palms. I'm like you, it would be hard to cover them every year, but those pots are always so pretty. Hopefully you can find some shorter annuals next Spring that will work for you for the colors you like. I do like the arbs in the pots along with the cabbage and creeping jenny. I'm glad you decided to pot them up. I kinda figured that you would. ;-) It was so good to see Pumpkin and Charlie, too, along with Turbo, of course. How is Cosmo doing, and Diego? I miss seeing Toby. He's not in a lot of videos any more. Bless his heart. I hope he's doing ok. Thank you so much for sharing!

      Hey Sandy! Yeah it's always sad to see the annuals go, but was nice being able to get a better look at those palms. They were looking great under those impatiens! All of the animals are doing well, Toby is living his old man life and spends a lot of time hanging inside and taking naps these days.

    You are soooo right! The pool palms look so much better without them being underplanted.. I think Creeping Jenny or Lemon Coral Sedum would be sufficient as underplants next year - the palms should be the only stars in those pots!

    • @TropicalPlantParty
      @TropicalPlantParty  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a decision I struggle with every spring. Since that's the only spot that gets full sun I always to fill those planters with sun loving annuals, but those sun impatiens really blocked the view of those trunks. I wish they'd make a mini version of those things.

      @@TropicalPlantParty I think most of mine were too wet when I buried and suffered root rot. Alot of the plants normally in my bog didn't recover. I usually pull them out of the water a week or so before burying them to let them dry, but last years cold came so suddenly.

    Hi Jeff, you should consider moving to a warmer climate rather sooner than later. Much less work each fall since most plants could stay outside. I brought most of my plants in except for six Alocasias and our basement is loaded with house plants. Can't wait to move some of them to Florida next year. My Christmas palm, that I grew from seed in 2017 is almost 5 feet tall and my first pineapple top that I planted a year ago now has 4 feet long leaves. The taller they get, the harder it will be to transport them in a crossover SUV. Condolences on the Cardinals. As a fellow St. Louisian I feel your pain.

      It's so great getting watch our plants grow over the years. They'll be really happy down in Florida! That was the best season of baseball memories ever. Seemed like every game I went to I was witnessing something historical. Going to be weird watching cards play next year without yadi, he's played since I was a kid, I don't even know stl baseball with that guy.

      Hey lorell! Yes! The ipomeas all form a sweet potato tuber, but these kind aren't meant for eating, just for nice foliage and growth. You can store the tubers and start them again just like any other potato as well. 😊

    I, Like you...gotta get my greenhouse up and ready because it's Lookin like winter is coming early this year. Even though my forcast says I'm gonna drop to the mid forties for lows I just can't trust the weather...for some of my tropicals the mid to upper 40s can be quite fatal. My rare potted flowering tropical trees are as giant as your plants and are a b***h to move and bein caught off guard just isn't an option...i might even have to buy another greenhouse...i hate winter 😠 lol
