Igor's decorating hints.

Following the advice of Igor ( see post March 23rd ) , I set out to find palms to soften the view of the monster mast, but being inherently frugal, and living in the jungle with easy access to palms from seedlings to full grown, massive plants, I decided to dig some myself.
Armed with my shovel I searched out likely subjects and started digging. And digging.
The blasted palms have root systems that defy regular digging out.
After many disasters, many buckets of sweat and even more blisters, the end result was one medium palm and two mini ones.
Mind you, these are the palms that grow like weeds in the jungle, right around my house.
I look at my pitiful result and think that maybe, just maybe, I have to admit defeat and get me to a nursery.
Good thing I decided against the chintz.
