Tropicals and Koi coming inside for Winter

A quick glance at the Koi Pond cleanup for winter and where all my tropicals are going for winter storage. #tropicalgardening #palmtrees #palmas #canaryislanddatepalm #musa #coldhardypalms #trachycarpusfortunei #agave #zonepushing #zone6

Wow, you are definitely the master of having a tropical backyard up north. Awesome job Tim!

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Thank you. I love living here, but at least I get to pretend I'm in the tropics in the summer.

[@tntropics]

Wow lots of plants inside

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Too Many!!!!!

[@SpotThosePlants]

Wow, hats off to you for your dedication to a hobby we all love. I am looking at overwintering a few zone bendy things here but not to the 'degree' that you are, here's to your success!

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Thank you. I actually beat the frost with my tropicals. Now I need to start with the palm trees. That is a whole other process. Luckily when spring hits I will somehow have forgotten about what a nightmare this is. lol

Yesterday was a crazy scramble to briefly protect everything. It was 28F this morning

I just finished protecting my palms today but I have nowhere near the amount you have! I honestly don't know how you do it Tim but I commend you sir.

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

You are way ahead of me. I'm jealous. But I usually don't mess with the Trachycarpus until the US Thanksgiving week. But thank you. I hate fall. But I will be happy in the spring. I am definitely doing a tropical plant sale in the Spring

Are the florescence the only light source?

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

That's it. Just enough to get everything in the garage through the winter. Grow lights would certainly be better but this does work.
