Everything I know about bananas I learned here. I've learned so much about dirt and fertilizer. I've gained acceptance that I can't always grow what I want until I get a greenhouse.
There are people here that I value dearly and depend upon to answer my questions and I should probably let them all know as I know that most would never know that I hold them in such high esteem and everyone needs a pat on the back now and then.
I came here as a firm believer that I couldn't grow anything without chemicals. Now I worry about the bee population and even appreciate the black jumping spiders that infest my nanas as I know they're eating bad bugs. (I'm terrified of spiders) I've learned the importance of organic food, the thrill of looking up at all those amazing banana plants, how to spot things that go wrong with my plants and how to fix them.
I learned that a banana will seperate into three segments if you punch it on the end

Yeah, I went right into the kitchen and tried it! And then I did it again and again to show family and friends as they came around!
It's almost spring time!
