    Yass, WTG Paul! I stumbled upon your channel when you were first started and I remember the strip with nothing. I believe your brick edging was something you 'hunted' for along with all bags of leaves to improve the soil.
    Great job!

    Hey Paul! I’ve been watching you for a while and I love your videos so much. They really show that you don’t have to be a certain type of person to love gardening and plants (I’m an 18 year old guy). I know that for a while you’ve been saying that you want your backyard to look like a tropical forest but you are unable to have crazy tropical plants because of your location. Well I’ve got a list of some crowshaft palms here that are hardy to zone 9b that you might be interested in (though not native): Rhopalostylis, Hedyscepe, Dypsis decipiens, and Archontophoenix cunninghamiana. If you want a fan palm that you will definitely not have to worry about the cold for then try out trachycarpus fortunei. I’ve got one growing in Michigan zone 6a and it’s done well so far (I’ve seen some cool videos of people in crazy cold environments having success with them). Anyway, there should be some websites that will sell seeds or seedlings of these palms for about $20 each if you just do a little bit of research. Good luck and I hope this helped some! Have a great day!

      Rhopalostylis, Hedyscepe, Dypsis decipiens -> will not grow in Houston, these are cool climate species and cannot tolerate hot subtropical conditions
      Trachycarpus does poorly and sometimes hangs on for years only to suddenly die for similar reasons. Not well adapted to hot subtropics
      Archontophoenix cunninghamia will live for a while and has even reached flowering/fruiting size before, it will die when the inevitable long duration

    Glad your citrus survived! Don't forget to remove the trifoliate suckers on the mandarin. I think you should give citrus another go, 2021 and 2022 were very unusual and by far the two coldest winters in the past 30 years (the third coldest, 2011, is not even close to the same level). Guava is another easy to grow tropical fruit and will always come back from the ground if frozen back. Star fruit will also come back.

    What a beautiful garden! The plants you have are so different from mine since i'm from a colder climate (Québec, Canada), and so I get to discover completely new plants I never saw before. Did you ever thought about growing Satsumas? They are one of the most cold hardy citrus plants, and can tolerate 15-20f if I remember right.
