According to 'the facebooks' new Palm Trees will be arriving at 7am tomorrow at Soggy Dollar!

...which explains why all the chairs/tables disappeared today...

Great to see this progress. Can't wait to see them with my own eyes sometime.

The story is not accurate in terms of timing. I think they have about a dozen trees (possibly 15) delivered previously.

I saw the trees on the ground beside the SD yesterday.

I guess they are being planted tomorrow.

I was told that approximately 125 trees in total are coming from Florida.

Webcam is looking much better already!

I wonder how long it takes for the roots to 'take' so they can remove the wooden props.
