As the Book says: “Everything happens for a reason.” Just understand I have had a garden since I was in diapers, I like to collect rare things, and I customized almost everything I own. Upon discovery of this Wellspring Gardens discount count code (no longer useful) a spark of curious interest flooded my mind and for a couple days afterwards I concentrated my main focus on how to grow one of my favorite fruits. . . . An after my research I realized I like everything about a banana plant but not all are going to be easy to grow and not all will be to-my-taste. Narrowing down my variety to pick from, Wellspring had a few I recognized as possibly preferable to me. IC Namwah, Manzano, Raja Puri, Williams Hybid, and Dwarf Red were purchase around the end of June 2013. While I waited for my nanas in the mail, my friend Randy gave me one of his “unknown” pups (basjoo?)and the project began! ! ! While getting them and replanting all, I met Bananas.org and found Larry (SSDarkman619) who got me a Gros Michel and Goldfinger TC, and in Nov. got me Veinte Cohol. Still wanting another out-of-the-ordinary I found Mark (Worm Farmer) and he got me the Praying hands corms. While nearing the end of the year I decided to take a chance and grabbed a Blue Java (Official) from Merce3, who got it from Rpmlmnz! Now, I think I got a good start. I’ll keep anything I receive from y’all updated on here. I’m certain I can at least respect the taste of all these bananas to some degree just because I’m actually a dog and I eat almost everything edible; and some of these may not stay in my collection but I will leave all my history with these here.

Alright, so I plan to keep 1 month updates coming!

(Good Friend Randy gave me this ornamental for FREEE)
I guess I might as well throw these Ears in hear too! (They will be part of my experiment for next year; I have other ears but these will be plant around my nanas)

I'm sure some of y'all might have noticed these pictures before but I'm hoping this will be the best way to shows changes from month to month.
AND almost forgot to say: All these plants will be planted in my backyard next year (in the ground). None of 'em dead yet! Wish me luck! GIMME THANKS !

So before I went for this greenhouse purchase I knew it would be beneficial to establish a pond in this thing.
This pond helps provide extra nutrients to my plants and at the same time providing protection from winter to my "outside" ponds plants.

Fishes/tadpoles poo poo in here too!
I going to add my heaters to this inside pond into winter to help maintain the temperature and humidity of my greenhouse.

As for the Bananas I must admit 9-6 a Bird got inside my greenhouse and knocked most of them off a 3' shelf..... So After RE-Potting these they TOOK OFF again! I only found and killed a couple caterpillars. I am really watching how these are developing individual characteristics and am maintaining my determination for fruit into next year!
+The elephant ears are developing awesome! Most have branched off into multiple tubers!
And I installed a camera Inside the green house for when Bigfoot shows up!

I'm hoping to plant MOST of my nanas in this area (between the stones, about 15' away from the sun-room)
http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=54750&size=1http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=54749&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=54750)http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=54747&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=54747)
And in front of the sun-room I will plant multiple different Elephant ears and flowers. This whole area was poorly managed this year and morning glories took over and spiders moved in!

Yeah December Mother Nature a little too nippy for my babies to play in the cold.... I realize near freezing is not good enough. ;) All still alive thank-goodness.
The lowest temperature ALL were exposed to: freezing (Not below 34°F from my recordings) for about 6-8 hours. . . Test-gone-wacko

VIENTE COHOL + REAL BJ + Upside-down PH = MIA! ooopsie too much cold. I realize Bananas are a tropical fruit and require protection especially when below freezing outside the greenhouse. I tested my luck to the limit an I feel fortunate to still have so many left. . . I have found my limit. I believe the established Tissue cultures, I stated with are more cold tolerate than sufficient sized corms cut from mother plants. Rot has definitely showed up and stole my upside-down PH. Worm Farmers other PH is holding on but sloOOWly rolling out after getting hit with 32° twice in December. January has been awful colder weather; am doing my best-est to retain heat and light. I feel really bad about loosing these member provided plants and will try to reconcile my poor treatment/bad judgement.

These Bananas are struggling... Less than 70F at night and limited "real" light has undoubtedly proven to me this will not be an easy task... No reason to stop now, I'll just keep testing and applying new methods.

So this Will Not happen again:
Tested my soil beginning of April (should have tested much sooner) found a high level of Chlorine. No, I have never used tap water, so I can only believe I've been compromised. I replanted all as soon as I realized... Can't do much more than I already have. I never give up... not easily at least. Can't watch my cameras 24/7 but I have a LOCK on my GH now. Any instance I think I've been tampered with again Police will be notified Again.

First of all I'd like to give a shout out to Nicolas Naranja for the educated suggestion of these newest bananas... I started all from corms supplied by none other. He got me Baloy, Raja Puri, Dwarf Namwah, Dwarf Puerto Rican Plaintain, and Williams. All very viable established corms. Thanks again Nick. I decided to update this log today because Dwarf Namwah just cracked the surface today! ALL of his corms were planted 5-3-2014!
SSDarkman619/Larry hooked-me-up once again. He got me the Goldfinger, Manzano, and Veinte Cohol. Great deal from California. Thanks Larry
The Basjoo and Maurelii were supplied by my local farmers market. I still have my friend Randy's Basjoo but I probably won't take many pictures of his anytime soon... Was the only banana that survived winter!
Richards Grow More 16-8-24 FRUIT FUEL is here to help out! Thanks Richard.

Wellsprings Namwah from last year looked kinda like this one but I love how this dwarf is staying short and thick. No pups and seems slower than the rest but it had a slow start.

6 pups... I removed/potted two to see if it would speed growth of the others.
This banana took off after I planted it and is growing much taller and faster than I anticipated, I love it.

I haven't deciding if I want to winterize this one inside my GH!? No pups but p-stem is Much thicker than all my other naners. Waxy! The leafs are directed upwards; I am not sure for any reason for this yet?

This one has not pupped yet but the two pups that came from the mother corm I started are ready to be separated... competing for space.

1 lil' 1" pup is not doing much but the mother looks happily healthy.
I have learned very much so far about these bananas and I'm sure I have much more to learn but having the opportunity to gaze and observe these is an eye-opening experience.

Did not take transplant forgivingly. I have it in my GH to keep it extra warm at night.

Mother corm on the left is feeding 2 pups and the middle and right one have been separated from the mother corm and have adjusted nice.

I already gave a few away and will have plenty to continue next year... I will try to overwinter this clump outdoors.

Seemingly adjusted into its pot transplant.

I swore this corm must be dead BUT! Something might survive from this in winter.

All year the tight leafs struggle to unroll. Gypsum and lime did not hurt or help.
http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/w669/jbyrd88888/DwarfPuertoRican9-28-20142_zpsb2023a41.jpg
This lil' pup will be kept inside during winter...maybe.

This is doing great adjusting to its pot.

Still life from the corm I left planted... Maybe I'll have a nice one to split before frost?

Rather than wrestling them out of the greenhouse to take a picture of them I'll post a picture of them just after my GH got moved and sprayed with fung/mold/insecticides.

All naners are okay and none have died yet but, have sustained damage from wind and temp. before the move.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE ! ! !
So yeah I still have to consider myself a newbie banana grower after winter hit hard but I'm happy to say I only lost my Veinte Cohol; it was my smallest least established.
Temps in the 90's this week. July update should look good I hope.
