First post ~ views of the garden ~ 9th December 2009
I joined a while ago but have not really posted yet, so by way of introduction here are a few shots of the garden, taken today (not the best light, but it was so mild I had to get in the garden).
I recognised a few names here, so some will be familiar with the garden, but just for the record:
the garden in on the East Sussex (UK) coast. It's is on the brow of hill 150ft up, shallow dry soil over solid chalk.Less then a mile from the coast-line
This is my umpteenth garden, and after nearly sixty years of gardening, probably my last. The garden is now twelve years old (less one week) from a bare canvas, and while it started out as a traditional garden (mostly with plants from my previous garden), it has steadily been going "tropical".

Hi Grenville,
Welcome to the forum it looks like your garden is quite mature and the T.wagnerianus look in pristine condition.
Whats the palm in the 6th shot down T.latisectus or Livistona perhaps?

Grenville,
Do you have to protect anything in your garden through winter then especially the 2 palms mentioned.
Trachycarpus martianus seems good to go at my place till we get to around - 5 C then things go a little brown.
