    Central Florida is on day 64 of contiguous rainy days. You're welcome, Florida. My home. Anyway, I'm using this wittle bitty comment line to post an update and chat, since I hate Instracrap so much. What have I been up to? Becoming fluent in Spanish again, got heart problems so, I quit gardening for 2021, will get back to it next year, Oh! I remember, this video of yours about the date tree. Awesome video, btw. More of you is always a better UA-cam. Squirrels. Yep. Want to talk to you about Squirrels. You have them? Remember we chatted about Mexican guava and how much they suck? Yeah well, my "white" guava which I bought from the Walmark, turns out to be a strawberry guava! Yep. They would be about a month from being ripe except, every day while in the pool, I see Tonisha, my pool squirrel, running along the fence with a hand-sized, immature strawberry guava. So, I'm picturing your date palm on the menu with these tree rats. Are you gonna net or just plant enough for everyone?

      It's really strange behavior to voluntarily watch a video, then complain that you watched it.
      You do realize that:
      1. No one forced you or even asked you to watch it.
      2. You could have stopped watching at any point (if it was that bad, why did you watch the whole thing?)
      3. You took even more time, after you watched it, to make this comment.
      UA-cam is full of many videos, ideas and much information. The great thing is that you get to choose which to watch. You choose to watch things you don't like and then complain about it...very strange my friend.

    Thanks for the video. Question: is there any kind of dates I can grow in Northern Ireland, or is it too cold there? If not, could ingrown them in a greenhouse? Would it have to be heated? I’ve seen some palm trees in NI but they all look small.
