I have a few boards that I keep in constant use as I grow all that I can and find interesting. Carnys, Agaves, Palms,Mangoes on my nano yard/lot in Hayward ca. Most of what I have is of tropical or subtropical origins collected since 1999. I had another planting period 1988-1992.
The yards as small as they are,still evolving. Removing tree's and shrubs I thought exotic in 1984 or such- Oleander,Bougie..for plants added like Tree Aloes or Triangle palms. Starting again in a way.

Thanks Gee and welcome Jorge.
Funny I left out my first planting period..1978. What were wispy Podocarpus are now fat trunked tree's, a undivided leafed Platycerium bifurcatum sold mounted on a wood shingle at K-Mart (now a big fern in that tree) and Monstera in some square shingle like pot with then heart shaped small leaves. Shingles,homemade like wood pots and cans. I'm getting pretty old!.
I kept records then. Now,I go back to plant boards and see "I bought that in 2006? 9 years ago!"
