You should definitely try to meet the gardener somehow. Maybe wear a padded suit so if the dogs bite, it won't hurt.

I personally didn't like palms for the longest time because in this area, we often see them in islolation or planted quite far apart in little squares of soil surrounded by concrete in front of car dealerships. Really, they're lined up like soldiers, they don't get any water all summer long and they seem sad as they slowly grow but mostly look yellow and sickly. When I finally saw them growing in groupings surrounded by other plants, I fell in love.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-92205082073958761352013-01-07T18:10:36.501-08:002013-01-07T18:10:36.501-08:00I know right?

Based on the location and the housing market, I think you should call as you'd be pleasantly surprised at how much your real estate dollar can buy in Tacoma. Really! Much cheaper here than in Portland, Cistus is still only a couple of hours away and we will be getting our own McMinimins soon... PLUS, you'd be that much closer to Dragonfly, Heronswood, Dig, Jungle Fever, etc. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-92102639577947516702013-01-07T17:49:14.306-08:002013-01-07T17:49:14.306-08:00It does look like he has a trailer of more spiky p...It does look like he has a trailer of more spiky plants but it's an illusion - the trailer was empty & the plants were growing on the other side of it.<br /><br />I sometimes forget, in my lust for things that aren't hardy here, how lucky we are to be able to grow so many wonderful plants here!

I've seen them get really tall with a little fluff of leaves at the top--very Dr. Suess-- and this worries me. I find myself planting things under my one palm to maybe fill in later as it grows.
