Yet the summer from May till late Oct gives me muggy hot days that I really love. So I've become curious with how might i grow tropicals, and bananas especially! Im Doing my research everyday trying to learn as much as I can from helpfull people around here. I currently have two small basjoos slowly growing in a grow tent in my house till spring comes, and looking to buy more varieties soon thanks to some great info I've revived from some members so far. If they're any Ohio growers out there id love to hear from you and learn some benifical tips to have a good season in my area!
