Looks like they should be fine 👍

Nice video! how do you take cuttings from your pink china's?

Looking good 👍

Looking great. Love your fun tiki flags.

Looking good; we just need some warmth to kick off our tropical gardens 🤞🏻

Thank you for your comments.I like ABIT of lawn. I will try to hide the fence, people just can't believe it!

With all that grass, i can see soo much potential for some deeps beds 😅. Shall try that insulation next time for the bananas. The trellis fencing is a strange choice for the neighbour. i must admit, i would be a bit cheesed off it isnt all the same 😅 but sure you can work with it.

こんにちは。素晴らしいです。あなたのビデオは素敵です😍

Yeah, just cut off the old canna growth

Looks like you’re fully prepared but hopefully we don’t get anymore severe cold snaps in February or March 🤞🏻

Your Bananas are looking good; I’m also trying to keep the height on my Bananas; looking at the forecast probably late November I’ll fleece them; let’s hope winter is milder this year.

It's looking great!

Looking good 👍

WetWetWet here too, nice garden n wish my grass was a lush and full as that 😃

How about a Tiki Bar? you definitely have the room mate, love your passion for tropical plants. We watch Tropical plant addict if you want an idea on the Tiki bar, you seem quite handy and would love to see your take on it 👍

That’s a really nice Trachy

Looking good and looking forward to seeing the garden take shape this year

Happy your palms have pulled through, cordylines have been decimated this year. Can't wait to see your progress this year

I’ve packed some fleece In the palms centres this year to protect the spears. Wrapped the Phormium aswell. Never had to before but this year the freeze has been too long. Can’t be too safe. 👍🏻

Hopefully everything will be OK for you there. Snow has battered up road in Cheshire. It needs to go away now 😒

Maybe some crocosmia for your centre bed,you can get different colours, gingers, have a look at Wilkerson if you have one near they sell summer bulbs, dahilas would look good too ,I would put in a tree fern 😀

You got off to a great start, lovely plants and garden. I hope the really cold weather didn't damage any of your plants. Good luck with your transformation.🌺🌴😊

A great start - good luck with the rest of the garden!

I would plant as much as you can into the ground come spring. Unprotected pots are far more likely to freeze right through and you might end up with root damage.

My cordylines are the same. We had -8°C in scotland. The one next to the house in a protected corner is fine. But the rest are flopped. I'm leaving mines. If the leaves are damaged then no point doing anything with them till spring and hope new ones grow.

Cordyline Red Star should be OK as long as the crown is ok and roots didn't get frost damage. I would be tempted to leave them until spring and then cut off any dead growth. At least the leave will afford some extra protection to the plant if there are further cold snaps. Like you said they are likely to grow from the bottom again of worst comes to worst. Grateful for the higher temperatures at least for a while.

Hi Pat, I'm in Milton Keynes and have been growing a range of tropicals for a few years; I have grown 5 very large canary island date palms, in pots, and they have stayed outside for the last 2 winters. I've wrapped the pots in bubble wrap, mulched around the base with scrunched up fleece, stood them on feet (to allow any water to drain away - to avoid root rot)tied them up and covered them in fleece, or fleece bags. I noticed that your pots on your patio are standing on saucers filled with water,; could i suggest you removed the saucers and stand them on feet because when the saucers of water freeze it could damage the roots. I can suggest some very good KZbin channels and specialist suppliers of tropical plants. Musa bajoos are great, i bought them as small plants and planted them out in May ( ive just cut off the leaves and wrapped them up and mulched them for winter, along with the cannas, and other plants. I'm 70 and feel its never too late to start. Let me know if you want details of youtube channels, specialist plant suppliers and seed suppliers. Lynda

Lots of work ahead. You have a great blank canvas to work with though. Out of interest where did you get the waggy palms from?

Best of luck with the garden! I recently began a similar journey in Northants. Let's hope the winter doesn't stay this cold for too long.

7:30 I think thats a cordyline 'Peko' not as hardy as the standard australis

The canarie palms are a decent size. Where did you get them? I'm in the same boat as you with starting a tropical garden project. I've bit off more than I can chew and now have musa basjoo and tender colocasias to over winter but I'm in Scotland glasgow zone 8b
