Scooterbug, if you enjoy the mountains, you will love that area! It has some spectacular scenery, for sure.

Microfarmer, you must have missed a sentence in my last post. I mentioned that I'm going to be experimenting with black plastic in the Spring!

Gard, the ones that have produced fruit can be cut down, as that pseudostem will die anyway. I have one that's blooming now that won't have time to mature a buch, unfortunately. From what I've heard from others who have tried, it is fruitless (pun intended) to try to dig up a large, fruiting pseudostem and pot it up for the greenhouse or indoors. It simple doesn't respond well, and the fruit is stunted or drops off. A waste, yes, but that's one reason why I plant so many!
