Default Banana hobbyist...

Howdy folks! I'm a banana hobbyist from Ohio originally, but living in North Carolina.

I have about 6 bananas in the yard (plus pups) right now and I've usually cut them down every year. This year, I'm going to try digging them up. I hope that works.

I'm married (15+ years) to my high school sweetheart and we have two youngsters. Both like the bananas ... I think.

Originally up Cleveland way...about 40 miles SSW of C-town.

I was stationed at Wright-Patt and know my way around Dayton a good little bit.

Thanks for the advice.

Go Buckeyes!!!
