LOL...

To be honest, the only area I really love to visit is the rhine area. Cologne, for example. Its climate is so mild that even green parrots (I don`t know the exact species) live there, freely. And T. fortunei is a relatively common garden plant, there.

Yeaaaaaah. About this. I don't like Germany at all. But I don't like my country either. Still, we could've been born in a worse one, ay, Sew?

You can book some room form he Sherry, I am not afraid of snow and frost - I am a Pole (something related to polar and North Pole )

It will be very nice if you send two ways ticket too - I will write you an address later...

Jack

Well, I am not sure what you are driving at but I actually like my country, even if there are more beautiful, reacher and WARMER!!! countries in the world.
I am starting to reconcile with the fact I can't grow here all plants I would like.
If I have to move I would rather move to some warmer land like Silesia or Pomerania.

I had Mediterranean's plant fascination about 2 years ago then I had had Trachycarpus, Beschorneria, evergreen oaks, eucalyptuses, Pittosporum, Arbutus uneo, Lurus nobilis and many other exotic plants in there garden, I built complicated winter protection for them, but after two winters I realized I can't make Italy or Croatia in Poland - it doesn't make sense. I still have the most hardy of them :

IMG_5077IMG_5147

but I think bananas are better then palms - they grow fast and are quite easy to overwintering at home.

Can't be. My Sicilian naner survived less with almost no damage. But I hope Rick's saw the weather forecast, before these sudden temps hit the town.

Hi there. No damage on 'nanas here..... but the only nanas I've left outside unprotected ares a Basjoo and the Comune di Sicilia who survived without problems... all the others are sheltered by plastic layers like a small personal greenhouse...
And the strange thing is that even if the greenhouse are home made the nanas seems to apreciate it very much.... Thousand fingers, D.C., S.D.C. , Gran Nain and Musella Lasiocarpa are still actively growing even if the sprout a new leaf every 20 days more or less....
I know that the worst has yet to come in term of cold but for the moment can't complain....
My Thousand finger has grown so big inside the greenhouse that the leaves are becoming twisted because the push against greenhouse perimeter and every new cigar leaf almost pierce the roof layer.... LOL

I dont have any greenhouse for bigger plants now. I did improvise a kind of half-shalter for few plants and all potted ones are under the deck so they cant get frost. 75% of them is allready dormant. No damadge yet but the lowest temp. so fare was 6.4C and thats unusually high considering the date.
Its going to be wet but plesant week now (about 15C) and than the big cooldown for weekend with frost possibiles and temps arround 0.

So Ante if you don't have a green house you must take all your plants home (like me)
My the biggest basjoo is about 3 m tall with the leaves and almost touch the ceiling.

Jack,
Don't be so decadent ;P (I have +2C )

Lots of them. For example 40 Croatian Trachys from Makarska are still outside and only 5 of them planted in the ground. But they are protected by 30cm of snow, don't worry.

It's currently -4°C...27°F right now. Oh what a lovely day we've had...














My beautyberry shrub is buried!









School and buses were cancelled today. It was a lot of snow all at once. We've already got 12 inches or more!


It came in like a lion so I hope it leaves like a lamb!
