Hi Waggi,

As far as pictures are concerned here is a repeat of another post of mine elsewhere in this forum,
outlining a step by step procedure for uploading photos:

1. Go to: bananas.org/gallery/uploadphoto.php?cat=500
2. click on ‘Browse’ or ’Chose File’ (depending on your browser)
3. Go to your folder, where the picture is located
4. Double click on the photo. That will transfer the location of the photo in your computer to the
Bananas upload site. You can do that with 4 pictures at the time
5. Click on the red Process window. That will put the photo into your Gallery or if you don’t
have one yet, will open one up for you (if I remember correctly)
6. Double click on the photo. That will open up a condensed version of the photo (about post
card size). If you want to post the original size, click anywhere on the image.
7. Left click on “Code for bulletin boards:” at the bottom of the image
8. Then right click on it again
9. In the dialogue box click on “Copy” that will copy the Banana.Org address of the image
10. Go to your post and paste it, where you want it to appear.
That sounds a lot more
complex, than it really is. After the first few hundred photos it will come quite fluently

As far as your banana is concerned it needs mostly a bit of patience, They quite often stall after
transplanting, might even die back to some degree, but they always recover. Watering
depends on the conditions. I do not personally agree with the here often voiced opinion to hold
back on watering. Observing bananas in their natural environment, where they often have their
feet right in the water, like on edges of rice fields, leads me to the conclusion that lots of water
does no harm, as long as you have a functional plant, in other words, as long as the plant has a
good growth of leaves in proportion to its size.

Sometimes they do not even blink, when transplanted and other times they may sit there for up
to two months, before you notice any recovery. My ever repeated mantra: "If you have a firm
(like a potato) (piece of-) corm you have a viable plant.
Good luck!
Olaf
