Hi decided to introduce myself. I am age 65, retired, married for 30 years, and have a 10' x 22' greenhouse made of storm windows & cement blocks lovingly made for me by my husband. He couldn't afford an engagement ring when we met but this MORE than makes up for it. We have an 8-year-old Rat Terrier named Fritzie. We live in S. Central Pennsylvania. I don't grow a whole lot of bananas but have a blood banana, a Basjoo (planted outside under 3 bales of straw with a rubber tarp over it & a dwarf banana. What I would love to try again is the smallest banana there is: Truly tiny. In the g5-7reenhouse, I also have a few orchids, begonias, ferns, cacti & succulents, Caudiciforms, vines and anything that strikes my fancy. Again, so nice to meet all of you.


It has been 5 years since I posted this intro because I'm 70 now. Have 3 big Basjoos beneath my kitchen window, one Abyssinian red and one Dwarf Cavendish. All are outside, being fertilized with 12-5-7 and all growing like weeds. Still have the greenhouse and having a ball starting seeds. Thanks for the welcomes.

Nice to meet you too Buttoneer. Wasn't the buttoneer the thing Ron Popiel( I think ) sold in the 60's or early 70's that pushed the plastic thing through a button so you didn't have to sew?................Anyway you're welcome here. Your greenhouse sounds like a dream come true for me, complete with guard dog . Wish I had the space for it. Stick around and you'll be looking for an edible variety to grow in there in no time.
