I guess I jumped the gun. Some of them are up about 2 feet, but I decided I was going to replant the others that hadn't come up yet. I dug down in the first one with the post hole diggers, and didn't find anything at all left of the banana plant. So I replanted one, and went on to the next one and dug down and sure enough, it was there. So I planted another one right next to it just in case. It was still 6" down, but that one is in a lot of shade and the ground was pretty cool and wet there too. So I went to the next one and it was down about 10", but with a nice green sprout, so was the 4th one. So once they come up I'll have 12/13. Pretty good for zone 5 huh?
