Hello, my name is Jonathon. This is my first attempt at growing bananas in Washington state. I have lived a few years in Nicaragua and my wife has a plantation there witch has bananas, plantains, ginello,cacao, papaya...
I was given 2 starts (banana- don't know what kind) from a nursery. It is hot here all summer. I am hoping to harvest fruit before the weather gets cold again. In nicaragua a start like mine would take seven months to harvest but is feeding from the older mother plant. I hope they do well and are edible. My ph is 6.3 and have ade very good soil. The warm weather is off to a slow start... only time will tell.
