Alex - Thanks for the comments!

Pretty neat how you've got your own website and videos on utube.Your smart planting the palms in there pots so you can bring them in in winter.HD was selling Queen palms cheap this summer here,I got two of them for less than $20 dollars.There 3 gallon ones was $6.98,the two I got are at least 12 foot tall planted in the ground.I know it gets cold where you live,but you might could grow a Trachycarpus Fortunei or Trachycapus wagnerianus or even a Rhapidophyllum hystrix planted in the ground.I think Needle palms are rated to your zone.You would have to protect them at least in winter for the first three years.I'm pushing the limits with my two Queen palms.Anyhow everything looks very healthy and happy,great job.

I am actually going to school for web development right now. I was a web master 9-10 years ago and never did anything with it again until a year ago. I'm trying to use my hobby to promote my online work. - I guess I figure how many people would really want to visit a web development site?

Zamzow,I've been thinking of starting my own website.I wouldn't know where to even start.I've been selling rare palms lately,and I have people stopping by my house and asking me all kind of questions about palms and some cold hardy tropicals I have growing.I have 2 palm farms in Florida and one in California who I do business with.I also came up with a product that is being developed now by engineers.It fits in with the trend of everyone going green,so it's perfect timing for this.I don't want to give away anymore info.on it till it's built.Is there any advise you could give me own starting up a website for someone who doesn't have a lot of money to invest in it?Any advise would be appreciated.

You can use WebPlus to build your owm site - they have a free version at FreeSerifSoftware.com or you can buy the full version for $100 at Serif.com - this is what I am using for the Tropical Plants in Minnesota site - even though I am suppose to be using Dreamweaver - (The industry standard and a $400 program.) - I started working on the site last fall before I started going to school and had a lot done on it...........What makes WebPlus easy to use is it is just as easy as as using Microsoft Office products or a piant program. With Dreamweaver you are using Divisions and Tables to create it - to use an example - think of Dreamweaver as laying a graden out with stakes and string and you have 100 plants that you want to fit in with a particular design in mind - but you don't know haw many plants of each kind you have until you start building it - it can be very nerve racking. Hope this gives you a little more information.

A lot of people don't realize how long it takes to do a website - I have had the last 5 weeks off from school - so I was able to get some stuff done - The site will have around 100 pages when I'm done and I will spend about 2 months worth of time doing it!

Zamzow Thanks for the info.It's been hectic trying to work a regular 40hr a week job and development of this product,plus running a side business all at the same time.I didn't realize how hard it is to get a product designed,made and marketed to the right people.Something that should be so easy to do,today with all the legality involved will drive you nuts.I want to see your website when it's all done,I bet it will be a good one :)
