Yeah, I’ve noticed that when there’s only holes in the bottom of the pot, I have to put a little rock or something underneath so Air can get to the holes and water can drain out. Otherwise it’s like the holes are basically covered.

Congratulations Uncle Jeff! You're such a thoughtful and caring brother! Your yard looks better than ever, Jeff. ❤❤

Hang in there & stay strong for your mom. ❤ love your content as always.

I finally found a full yellow, with a white center, super cool since I couldn’t find any yellow without the red in the middle but it’s also planted 2 orange ones I might divide them tho

Hi Jeff! I'm listening to you say 94° and I wonder what the humidity is. It must feel awful. I've moved from CA to NV (I know it's crazy, but CA just got too expensive), and it's currently 115° here. It's hot. So hot. But it's not humid, thank God. I won't complain.

I live in Alpharetta, Georgia which is about 40 minutes north of Atlanta by car. We were in zone 7a. In 2024 they say we are in zone 8a. I first learned about Windmill palms when I saw them on the cover of "English Gardening" magazine covered in snow. At that time I had no idea that any tall, tropical-looking palm could withstand our cold Winters. I now have three very tall Windmill palms in our backyard. I bought seeds online and now have 11 Windmill palm trees in my greenhouse. The Winter before last, we had three 9 degree F days in a row. My 3 mature outdoor palms survived without a problem. I tried however to plant some younger Windmills in my backyard and some critter ate the fronds. I think that cold weather killed them off. Here is a soil tip... I make my own soil in a medium-large compost bin. I add grass clippings, suitable table scraps, and cedar wood chips from Lowes. My 11 young Windmill Palms love this mix. Before I transplanted them, they were barely growing. Now they are dark green and growing faster.

Beautiful palm❤

Here in Pensacola FL temp has been 90 to 92 but heat index of 106-109. Plants love all the humidity though. I recently bought a 6’ fox tail I need to put on a new pot came in a 3 gallon pot plus looking for a wind mill palm to add to my collection

Mine grows really fast. It gets indirect sunlight all day and absolutely loves it & its foliage is a lot darker green. Also I bottom water about once a week.

I just recently found your channel and became a subscriber! I just wanted to say that I love your videos and your back yard is beautiful🫶

Watching this as I stare at my roebelenii that needs to be repotted

It got up to 92° here, too..Watering steady. Picked my first crop of Bush peas, not many yet, just starting, but 9 and 10 peas per pod. Happy with that. Got enough to have some with meal, for dinner. Weather has been in 85° and up all week...water early, and late, and sit by the fan...today has some sea fog, and white clouds so far.....but blue sky behind those...71° at 10:30 A.M...ahhhhh. I bet your family and kids, will Love, Love, love, your tropical pool, paradise....and animals,cats,dogs, tortose, bird, and fish...You are about to become that "Favorite cool Uncle."

I watched your video from last year's repotting ordeal. You are so funny!

And PS, you know how (or maybe I don't) most orchid CZcamsrs are women? Have you noticed that most palm CZcamsrs are men? Maybe it's just been my imagination, but now I think that I have figured out why... It's how heavy they are, lol. My husband does not yet realize how he's going to have to help me for himself for repots and move inside time. He's buying all of these palms for me as new house gifts, not realizing that he has just made work for himself, lol. But, I think I'm turning him into a palm guy. He's been asking questions about their care and giving input about where the potted ones will look the nicest. He never did that before

My goodness! My palm journey is getting even better! I bought 3 Gaussia Gomez Pompae last week, two windmills and four Mexican Fan Palms this week. All because of you introducing me to how to grow them.

Do you have any windmill palms in the ground? I live north of Boston I have sabal minor which seems to be doing well it’s wind protected and I have a basjoo that’s doing alright. I have two baby windmill palms in pots I will plant in two years. they are too small to plant

A beautiful palm! I love the “fuzzy” trunk😊❤️

HI Jeff, this is the first time I've heard you really doubt the new 'zone' numbers, interesting. I'm in the same zone, just very far away from you, and I've been wondering myself. Right now we have been in the high 90's, 100= and above for days and days. Watering is getting pretty challenging (although I have 3 rain barrels, so I have plenty of water just have to bucket it for my young trees and plants on screened porch.) ALSO, fighting lantern flies, do you have them there? Very very invasive, although beautiful.

Great job! What a relief!! I just did a repot project which I have been procrastinating on for the past 6 months 😓 at least you can now enjoy your time away without worrying 😊

Thank you Jeff. 🌺💚🙃

It does not do full sun very well.

It looks good! How old do you suppose it is?

Hi Jeff, still watching😒😒

Should I deadhead?

I just picked up 5 of the white BOPs, smaller ones, at Walmart for $5.84 each. Could not pass that up. Really small nursery pots but really, shockingly, healthy. I still want to find some Reginaes. I have to have them in morning to early afternoon sun, because…Texas. 🤠

Hi Jeff! I'm glad you found some new palms to try. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do for you, both in the ground, and in your garage. Thank you so much for sharing!

Yes we need the homemade fertilizer recipe! ❤😊

Congratulations for your new nephew your garden is beautiful I bet you get lots of beautiful butterflies all over your lantanas my garden is attracting lots of butterflies all over my lantanas and zinnias and butterfly bush and pentas and my Mexican sun flowers I garden for butterflies in ft Lauderdale FL.

I am a new gardener and making lots of mistakes. Often, I have no clue what the mistake is. I bought 2 of these a few years ago. I planted them in afternoon shade. Clay spil, yes, but where I planted I dug out a nice spot and put rich soil. They surprised me by staying green through our mildly freezing winter and came.back nicely in the spring, so I bought another and planted it next to the others. That summer, the older one closer to the new plant died. But plant 1 and 3 did well over the winter, even though it was a harder winter and they didn't stay green. They both came back strong in the spring. But now plant #3 looks like it's about to croak. Only plant #1 looks robust and healthy. Thoughts?

Congress, really so wonderful your experiments & videos so amazing❤😊

If the weather forecast is correct, your garden might get a soaking in the next few days. Thanks for the fascinating behind the scenes video! 😺✌️

Congratulations on the new family members!! Also, I was just thinking that you must have finally found a good umbrella since we hadn't heard anything about it recently. Interesting little screw! 🙂

Hope you had a great week with family, Congratulations 🎉❤,new baby in the family 🎉🍾. Thank you for sharing!!!! ❤️🙌

As always fun to watch and hear your thought process. Like the arrangement by steps by door. Your idea about Chinese fan palm in ground near door would look great. Here in Florida panhandle we are suffering through heat index days 105-109. But plants seem to love the humidity and the rain forest climate of pop up showers daily which helps with not watering as much

Congratulations on your new nieces and nephews you’re gonna be a really good uncle❤

Great info on the great Sabal minors. Mine went thru -6F with spotting to 50% damage

Who is Janet Craig ?

Potting soil, pool salt, & seeing what a 'surprise ' will do.....right at home.... yea!!!🎉 🍸 🧉 🥛

You’re going to become the favorite Uncle to the older nephews and nieces, pool and all the critters. Pure fun!

Thank you for the long form video. I do enjoy them.

Such a sweet brother !! Also thought you were going to say you found the outdoor seating at Costco! We ordered ours off Amazon it’s held up for two years so far 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm making yogurt while watching/listening. 😂 I enjoy your rambles, rants, and thoughts.

Congratulations on the newest family member! You are such a sweet and thoughtful person. I love your gorgeous garden!

Hi Jeff! I love your lantana standard. Does it survive the winter for you? Everything is looking so good! That was so sweet of you to do the work at your sisters. I'm sure her, her hubby and new baby appreciate you so much! The decorations, cookie cake (you did a great job decorating it), the wine etc. was so sweet, too. Congrats on your new nephew, and getting to see the other "new" additions to the family. How fun for you! I hope you'll let us know how your week with family went, but how could they not have fun with you and the pets? You haven't mentioned it for a while, so how is the interior renovations going? Thank you so much for another long video, and for sharing!

Completely unrelated to the video but we haven't seen them since you planted them, how are the variegated Gymnocalycium cacti doing?

Thank you Jeff, be safe , stay healthy and we’ll see you next time. 🌺💚🙃

The dog swimming in that beautiful pool. I would let my standord poodles if I had a pool.😂 Question when dose the trunk grow like that? I have a hug one but has no stock like that.

So exciting!! Congratulations on your new nephew and your family too!! Everything is looking great too❤😊!!! Hapoy gardening!!!

Congrats on the new family member!

I admire your stamina! Your garden always looks beautiful and it obviously doesn’t happen by itself! Congratulations to you and your family on the new baby boy!🧸🍼 No wonder your sister wanted you there at the hospital. You are a thoughtful and sweet guy🥰❤️ Keeping your Mom and the new addition in my prayers🙏
