Small update on my CaliGold:
It wasn't very warm and sunny in the last days, but the CaliGold seems to be showing first signs of growth!
It's yet too little to show a pic, but looking very, very closely it could be start.
According to a nearby weatherstation with soil temperature, temps are around 10° C/50F (10 cm (4") and 50 cm (1.6 ft) deep) and that's when bananas start growing.
But some cold weather is expected to arrive on the weekend... I hope it won't get too cold and won't last long.
