      @@jasonspalmparadise it sure is, unfortunately this storm and then the cold last week has probably taken its toll on what I've got.
      Your arid bed, is it all just horticultural grit or is there soil in there too?

      @@kris662 there is about 2 inch of gravel then soil. My soil is really stoney and well drained so I can get away with putting arid plants in it without improving the drainage.

    Happy to reach your channel! Have you tried copper antennas on your plants? I guess you should give it a try! I have tried it on my own and it works!

      Nice list, I like it. Red Acer is a great looking tree. I like waggys but I don't have one (yet). Glad to see someone else likes the mahonia soft caress 👏

      And 100% yes to the inclusion of acers. I have a red one amongst a sea of green. Waggles are also so reliable and strong.

    Don't worry your tetrapanax will pup. All over the garden if it's anything like mine. For me it's a pain in the arse. I must have removed about 40 pups last year. They pop up everywhere.

      Wow that's a lot of pups, you should be selling them you could make a fortune 🤑💰 I will see it mine does pup this year maybe I have the only one in the world that doesn't pup 🤔
