Friend, and neighbor, June's potted palm grew so large last summer in Pink Garden's shade garden, she didn't have room for it this winter! It's hard to find space in my, ahem, crowded apartment as well, so I put it up in my attic. While it's not insulated, it doesn't actually freeze up there, so I was pretty sure it would make it through the winter. It's not only "making it through" the winter, it has thrown off a couple of new shoots and is now more than five feet tall and five feet high, lol. It seems to love being up there. I also have all of my geraniums and outdoor begonias up there, and they're all doing really well this winter.
THEY HAVE GHOSTS TO KEEP THEM COMPANY THAT'S WHY THEIR HAPPY. GHOST LOVE COLD WEATHER.
ReplyDeleteyou're right about that!
ReplyDeletePlants thrive in cool conditions. As long as they don't freeze your golden. I love these views of your attic, have you finished it yet?
ReplyDeleteI love palms like that -- I wish we had room for one -- it would look great in the bay window. I just love the idea of your attic! We had only a completely unfinished attic that was accessed through a scuttle in a bedroom closet. A walk-up attic is someplace I would love to have my hypothetical train set!

Nope. the attic project isn't quite done. I still have some things to go through, and I want to arrange a seating area in the middle. One of these days! : )
