| we had the same wonderful temps here today as well I took the covers off the needle and banana for awhile both days. Is there anything inbetween the frowns and the bubble wrap on the washy? I usually put some straw inbetween on mine just to give it an extra layer but if its not needed that would be better for me. |

| Great pics! Your palms look really nice! I hope that they do as good as always this winter. Today was a really nice day here, a little bit above average and sunny. Next week looks really cold and temperatures are well below average so I may be getting my palms ready for winter soon too! Thanks for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving! -Alex |

| Thanks Alex As long as the power stays on they should look better than ever next year(-: Mike Any flat leaf surface that come in contact with the plastic I did spray the palms with a fungicide in the morning,so we'll see if that helps. |

| alright let me know how it turns out. mine have mulch at the base a feed sack/tarp type material wrapping them then straw covering that then another sack then another sack. there in protected areas so moisture really isn't a problem and the fronds don't touch anything but straw. Does that cactus cover stay open on both ends or get closed up later in the year? |

| Ryan When I planted the other Washy,it was too high up. It was never exposed to any cold temps inside the enclosure Mike The cactus cover is first a rain cover,then I cover one end |
