Default Re: Question from Alaska

Yeah its been not much of a summer so far, I live near lake otis and dowling. I am actually thinking about trying something a little far fetched...I am going to try growing a few different palm trees outdoors this year, all year long. I lived in Ketchikan, AK and grew Windmill Palms outside and they did quite well. Of course it doesn't get nearly as cold there, I think the record low is 0. But I am going to build a little insulated shed and put some lights in it, and heat it minimally. Just enough so they survive. Hopefully it all works. I'm still thinking about it, if its really worth it or not. Might as well just grow it indoors though right, what with all the work. But hey its always fun to try something that's a little "out there." Need to get some out of my house anyways, if you saw in the background there were probably 50 Christmas Palm seedlings behind the banana pup. Haha not quite sure why I even have those, they stand no chance up here besides indoors...
Where did you move to?
