Hi Everyone - I'm brand new here. I come seeking the advice of the sages - or at least the experienced. I started with one left-behind banana, which I paid no attention to for the fist year and a half of our co-existence. Apparently, it didn't need much attention . Through cold winter, hot summer, and cold winter again, it seemed to stay pretty much the same. Didn't really grow, but didn't seem to be shrinking either. So, I left it alone.
Then one day, out of the blue, I heard that banana wanted more sun. I noticed (for the first time) that its spot in the yard received mostly just morning sun. I said ok banana, let's go. I watched a video or two on YouTube, dug a hole outside my bedroom window, and moved la banana. That was somewhere close to a year ago. And banana thanked me heartily for hearing its plea.
I daresay she has tripled in size. Now, with two pups ready to go venturing out on their own, she is drooping a bit. Knowing next to nothing about amending soil, God knows what I planted her in. So today's project is to separate and transplant the pups (this is how I found bananas.org) and to do whatever Mamabanana needs to keep on growing and recover from raising twins. This probably belongs somewhere other than member intros - but I'll just start here, and if anyone has a recommendation of where to post, I can cut & paste to the right place.
Thanks, and looking forward to learning from all of you!
