Hey all,

I'm 'bout ready to put my smaller nanners (orinocos, basjoos, and one beccarii) in a new portable stand-alone 4x6+ greenhouse. I plan to have it heated to at least 60 degrees in the winter to keep the nanners slowly growing to be ready to plant in the ground come spring. I will have a fan in there as there is just the zip door that opens.
I'm REALLY worried about excess humidity and fungus problems. I've never done overwintered bananas but have always hated those little peat-pot seedling kits. (you know the kind they say have the plastic lid for that gets tons of condensation in them which lead to damp-off?) Well, I'm worried I'm gonna baby these bananas just to have them collapse on me from too much humidity. I'm in the PNW and we're getting a lot of rain in the winter with temps 40 to 50. Thanks.

Zach
