it has been a while since i posted but i am still lurking when i can
cold overnights came early this season and last year the plants spent a lot of time indoors
to try to reduce the electricity bill i set up a greenhouse of sorts
heated it slightly on the coldest of nights, actually my family did
i was out of town for a month or so
so here they are in the temporary greenhouse:

i brought them inside a couple days ago
which is quite late in the season compared to when i normally might
some minor damage to some of the plants but not the bananas
might change as they adjust to the new lighting and dry conditions
here they are now:

you can really tell that i have one magnetic ballast and one electronic ballast
access for watering is difficult so i may make a simple watering tool
a pvc pipe with a funnel attached to one end
works well for people with physical disabilities ie. use of one arm
who want to tend their own garden
use a jug instead of a funnel and brace the jug between youre legs
scoop cupfuls of water from a bucket beside youre chair
