Lovely little chusan palm

I'm glad you obeyed! We must do neverything they tyell us to. Except Carol Klien, I don't take any notice of her (Ha ha)
You call it lovely 'little' Palm but will it stay little, I suspect not!

I'm hoping not! I would love it to get nice and big! Love Carol's accent thou :)

I'm afraid Carol's just a little to exciteable for me. I suppose I'm just a miserable old devil but I just can't watch when she's on. I like straight forward presenters who show it how it is..
Yes, I should think the palm will grow very big if it likes the situation and it looks like it's got plenty of room around it.

Haha - I'm sure you're not so miserable Paul. Yes - she is quite exiteable - how does one get to be like that? Perhaps too many energy drinks?

I'm gently easing my garden from cottage-y style through to tropical via the palm - I'm finding it quite inspiring!

Its lovely see you have turn the pic around now lol

That's interesting you should say that Elo 15e as my front garden is full of mainly cottagey perrennials which I love but, unfortunatel , being south facing and in a very windy spot, I am finding it inbcreasingly difficult to keep them all going during these dry summers! (Yes, believe it or not , it's been incredibly dry down here in Essex this year!) So I have been thinking about changing one border over to a dry type garden although we have a heavy clay soil so it would be a bit tricky but I've been researching a bit recently to find plants that would tolerate windy, dry conditions in the summer and the clay soil. I would , obviously dig in lots of grit/gravel . The only thing is, i'm not sure I've got the energy now(or the cash!), to change it all around. It would be a lot of work as it's a very big front garden......... We'll see!
