Thinking of taking my palm tree to the sunbed shop

[vickster]

You and 'he' need to move to a desert island, with no Internet so he can continue his development in the sunshine and peace

Could you get someone to film you taking the plant to the sunbed shop and the subsequent interaction with the staff there?

That might be difficult. If i take it,i'll report back and tell you what they said. When i've used the sunbeds in the past they've always asked my name for "health and safety reasons". If i say Mr Palmer that should cover it.

Where would you put the goggles?

Just leave it outside in a sheltered area.

But he needs some sun, asap!

Just buy a sun lamp off Ebay and save yourself the embarrassment of taking a blinkin' plant to Tanfastic

Just in case this isn't a wind up, trees are not puppies. If you take a tree for a drive, jostle it about and generally treat it like a piece of furniture, you will knock back it's growth. Do it enough and it will die, quicker than not getting enough sun.

But it's just a Tuesday morning funny thread, isn't it?

It needs light

When i've used the sunbeds

Wow. People actually use sunbeds? What other carcinogens do you pay to expose yourself to?

(Obviously people use sunbeds, because otherwise the shops would close. But I am not aware of any friends of mine who use them)

I'm wondering if accy has a brother called Mathew T, that lives in north wales

 

[Mrs M]

Maybe he needs some nice food
I buy mine online from the palm shop
PS I am still laughing

Wait until the weekend and take it to the Church instead - it's Palm Sunday.

Luckily his missed it for this year: do you know what they do to palm trees on Palm Sunday? It's not pretty. Hint: the ashes are used on Ash Wednesday the following year.

What other carcinogens do you pay to expose yourself to?

Food, alcohol, cigarettes (not anymore personally), flying...I'm sure there are more

B&Q sell sack trucks for 20 quid. Perfect transport to the salon and no lifting. In fact if you keep it on the sack truck, you can just follow the sun around the park during the day.

For all the naysayers on the other 'Gardening' thread: Who said gardening was boring?

I have designed and planted up a palm/boardwalk garden for a client. Some of them have fared well in Somerset and others are kaput. Any idea what it is? And where in the UK are you? Maybe don't answer the last one?
