Hi Bigyin,
I find your blogs really entertaining and informative. Didn't know that they grew rice in Spain, but thinking about it, sounds logical!
Would really like to hear of Margaret's side to your endeavours and love that she fills vases with flowers she finds in season.

I'm not usually a big fan of palms of any sort but that date palm looks great - maybe because it's happy in its environment. You certainly wouldn't manage to grow one of those in Yorkshire.
It's beauty is the perfect shape of fountain that the leaves create.
It's very slow growing but you need to cut branches every year to keep it look good.
It can be very danjerous-I remember the first time I saw someone hurt by this- oh it looked realy bad . about 20 years old preaty girl but all her had one big swallen scar.
Off course I hurt my self few times later on -but not that bad.Its actually got some microbes that lives on the leaves and infect the wounds when the sharp leaves hurt you.
I am afraid the dates are not the one that you eat.
for any more info about this plant or other in that climate I will be able and happy to answer
It is one of my favorite palms.
