First up for planting will be this Ice Cream. That's the variety I had the best success with in Las Vegas.

I planted around the plantain with super-hot peppers. I added 8 wheelbarrows full of compost to this section. It was nearly 100% sand. It drains very well at least.

When the rains come you will be thankful for the drainage. I remember visiting banana growers in California that used post hole diggers to dig drainage holes through the thick layer of clay. Soil is looking good!!!
