Good growing, Darin!

PS- as a note, I don't mean any harm by this post. Darin knows me.....
Yeah I think one thing people need to be aware of is that things (especially big leafy things) don't get as huge here as they do in areas with higher humidty. Not that they can't, but it takes a LOT of work, and even more water, to get that kind of growth here. And the picture is deceiving. There is nearly a couple feet of space between it and the gas meter, and I don't think the "trunk" will ever get that wide and if it does, then I guess I'll dig it up then. But with my soil, super dry air (for about 4 months) and heat, I don't expect this banana to be breaking any records. If I can get 6ft of "trunk" I will be very happy.
