Personally, I think it's the other way around. I DO get excited about planting bananas, whether it's in the spring or the winter. AND I DON'T get frustrated with you warm weather states. . . . I do take appropriate measures when cold weather sets in. Though sometimes, I can be caught off guard when the weather changes too soon. . . . or, if I'm away on an out of state assignment. I would naturally be envious of anyone who would not need to do these things. But if it were to frustrate me, I'd be back in the Philippines! Then I can not enjoy just terrific bananas that are not available here, but, also, terrific fruits that would be otherwise considered "exotic" here. How about several bunches of tree ripened Lansones? Or, Pico mango?
