Howdy,
I'm new, as you can tell from the subject, and would like to maybe get into bananas again.
I had bought a house in South Austin that had a few banana trees and the fruited once, but then severe drought followed up by a freezing winter killed them. I would like to plant some more, but don't really know how or when to go about it. Is it too late in the year to plant? Should I start them indoors later in the year? Dwarf plants kept inside? Thoughts?
Oh yeah, I don't have a green thumb. I was successful with lettuce only because I gave them the right amount of neglect. LOL
