Cut back the banana tree this morning. One of the dead palms had a new growth in it. Went to the doctors and came home this afternoon. The new growth grew 3 inches. ? I think the tree is giving me the middle finger. ?View attachment 317887

Great job on the pruning. Yep, thats kind of what mine look like in the garage. Stem growing even in sub-optimal conditions. Cold, in the garage, dark, no water.

That nice, glad it survived the frost. Noticed in a previous picture that there were a lot of trees in that pot. Did you start with one and how long have you had them. My plant had a new leaf coming out when I got it, that leaf has fully opened and another one is already showing. It is still in the house.
Mine is in the ground. In about 3 months last summer it went from a foot tall and 3 leaves, to about 5 foot. The smaller one is a shoot from the roots of the bigger tree.

CSR Virtual Vacations presents On this day 2020: We caught the InterIslander ferry to the South Island. The journey from takes about 4 hours. We left our North Island hire car in Wellington and picked up a RAV4 in Picton. On arrival we drove the scenic Queen Charlotte Drive along the coast to Havelock and back. The views were stunning and the cicadas were deafening!

Afterwards we sat on the motel room balcony eating our dinner with a glass of wine... Picton may be the main port that connects South Island to North, but it’s considerably more picturesque that Dover!

We had more snow too. It’s not that deep, but it’s so cold despite the sun shining.

We have made it to -1C/30F and that’s as warm as it will get today.

They recorded -23C/-10F in parts of Scotland last night! ?
Heard on radio today that -19C recorded on top of Brecon Beacons today.
Brrrrrrr!!
Felt almost as cold here.

It’s nasty here ....sleet that will freeze and make a slush. We will have to endure this a couple days and then we are supposed to get Linda’s proper snow...
The disasters have already begun though..

Oh man! That's AWFUL!!! My son and his family live in the DFW area and his a.m. email to me referred to his job being closed today due to icy roads,but I had no idea it was that bad.
