Hi Banana Friends:
I read this article today and it is full of banana growing goodies you should know about. Enjoy. The URL is: tropicalpermaculture.com. And the article is : "How to grow banana plants. And keep them happy"
Belated HAPPY FATHERS DAY to dads in Bananas.org
At this moment I am using expensive data plan since my lines are down and I am switching to Verizon from Monday.
Forgive me for I have been away and not read you postings.

I visited this site and got scads of great info. Thanks for passing this on. As a newbie, I need all the help I can get. I am still trying to locate the best resource for listing banana diseases with good photos so I can be prepared. I did notice something was attacking a few leaves of my cavendish, so I sprayed soapy water on them and they stopped. Probably leaf miners. I also took the giant step of separating 3 pups from the dead mum last week. So far, so good. The smallest pup is looking a bit pekid, but I think he'll make it. I've grouped all 3 together on rolling carts, so I can move them out of heavy winds if need be. Later when it chills out, I'll need to roll them into the greenhouse I intend to build next month. Hope to see every plant survive and thrive.
