I am confident that the bamboo will pull through, even though it looks like I have never seen it before, it is a grass after all (that is what I keep telling myself). Would be interested what the "GOD" has to say about it though. I have the conservancy tour gals coming over to the Patch on Saturday for a scout-about, thank you so much for the referral Linda. I have a lot of clean up work to be done before then, will keep me off the streets! Today I had my gloves dripping in sticky aloe juice, and boy was it stinky, all the tips took a beating. Thanks for your encouraging words, and I agree I think there will be more surprises before this winter is over. ESP. Hi, and thanks Linda.

And great video, too! I've been scratching bark, like you, to see green, and I think all will be well. Cut back the cycad fronds in a few weeks to see what happens. On the bamboo, I'd check The Great Outdoors for advice, and I will, too. And yes, I think this is going to be a year when more surprises are around the corner. Well, at least we won't get bored! And I think your garden would still be lovely in all mush. Plants come & go (as you well, know), but the concept is forever. Well, at least until you change it. . .(!) But you've got the essential concept down! Fabulous pictures & stories as always! And great video, too! I’ve been scratching bark, like you, to see green, and I think all will be well.

I was really surprised at the Giant Timber, well, actually all the bamboo damage. The black and my Alphonse Karr seemed hardier than the rest, or perhaps they are in warmer micro-climates? Hard to tell. And yes the poor sagos, though I do think they will recover, they might not look good for a while, but I think they will make it. Good luck this week with yours. ’Sun on the back of the neck’ syndrome? Pam? Haha! But what gardener does not struggle with this when the temperatures get into the seventies? Well at least they were supposed to be! An interesting spring it will be indeed Jenny. ESP. Hi Jenny.
