Hello everyone ...
Here is a new thread so that everyone can show what environment he grows its bananas, which could translate sometimes real contrasts ...

Very pretty area! And very large. I have 10 acres (4.05 hectares) on Hartstene Island on Puget Sound in Washington State, but it has all 40-50 year old timber(Douglas Fir), except for 2-3 acres of pond. Coincidentally, this area is considered to be in the "banana belt" of western WA because the area has higher number of sunshine days than most of western WA. I wanted to use it as a camping area when my kids were young, but now my oldest will be 43 and my youngest will be 29 years old this year. My 17-year old grandson, who lives with us, has no interest in camping. Besides, I may be too old myself.
What is the city closest to your future banana "hacienda"?

Bikoro,
That is a beautiful site from your home. It reminds me of the scenary of my childhood. We had rolling hills, plus mountains a little farther away. The towns were larger -- about 20,000 people each with 10 to 15 miles of farms and open country in between.
Here is a picture of my neighborhood in the north-western part of San Diego, CA. It was taken in about 2003.

Thanks for those pictures. For some reason, I had expected that from your pictures, that your zone would be lower that an 8. Your town of Pau is pretty close to Lourdes. Wish I could visit there someday. My Dad was there in the 80's. I also was given bottles of water from the grotto there by a close friend. He showed me a picture of crutches hanging at the roof of the cave in the grotto. What a sight that was.
Thanks again.

Bikoro, thanks for updating your profile! Now I see your location on the map. A beautiful area to be sure, and some say the source of all Europeans after the last mini-ice age.

yes thats true, but France is in between Spain and Belgium (from south to north)
I dont know how it is in english but the borderline between spain and France is the Pyrennees, a mountain area.

Only 4 or 5 bear! Thats too many for me! But compared to the criminals here, it probably equals out! Never seen a wild boar, only on tv. Then again......... with the way some of these folks dress, makes ya' wonder!
And we have vultures too....Although they come in human form!
Bikoro child what is an isards?
Thanks, and have a good day!
