A short introduction...

*Dearly Depotted* · 09-14-2020, 01:00 AM

Hello! I’ve been looking around here on bananas.org for a while. I guess I just decided to go ahead and join this time! My name is Mary and I’m 35 years old. I’m located in Northeastern Ohio. I’ve been growing banana trees & other Tropicals since at least 2012 or so. I really love gardening now that I’ve a bit of a green thumb! My nickname is in honor of all my plants from over the years that have died. It’s like a moment of silence for them. Ha ha! I’m on a quest to be able to grow real bananas off my trees this time! I’ve never got one in all these years! Wish me luck! If you would like to know all the different kinds of varieties of banana trees I’m currently growing check out my profile! Too many to keep on typing them all out again! Genuinely, it’s a big and long list! Thanks and have a great night/day!

Welcome!

Funny username: brilliant!

Quite the list! Wow! Nice

*Dearly Depotted* · 09-14-2020, 11:36 PM

Hey! Thanks for the wonderful welcome!

*Dearly Depotted* · 09-14-2020, 11:44 PM

I forgot to mention that I also am growing different varieties of cannas, callas, elephant ears, caladiums, sugar cane, hostas & alocasias! Just to name a few of the whole bunch of plants I grow!

*Dearly Depotted* · 09-15-2020, 12:37 AM

There is one more I’ve yet to mention... Washington Naval Orange Tree!

smeash · 09-15-2020, 06:20 AM

Wow.. you have your hands full! Welcome to the bunch!

*Dearly Depotted* · 09-15-2020, 12:26 PM

I just thought of one more! A coconut palm tree!

*Dearly Depotted* · 09-15-2020, 12:30 PM

I know I can’t believe how much stuff I’ve got growing! It’s fun until I have to dig them back up to bring indoors over winter though!

Thanks! That was very funny!

Yeah I did go crazy buying lots of plants this year!

*Dearly Depotted* · 09-16-2020, 10:43 AM

OOOOHH! I'm jealous! I really want to grow Naval but Texas has extremely strict laws over importing Citrus trees so they can't be bought online.
It's the last tree I want to complete my citrus collection

Hi! I know I was so happy to get it this year! Hoping for some oranges! Sorry to hear about the strict laws! That stinks! Don’t give up hope though! Maybe one day you could get one!

*Dearly Depotted* · 09-25-2020, 09:20 PM

Thanks again all of you for the warm welcome!

Hail Mary-

Welcome aboard the Banana Express!

I really think you need to consider making raised beds in your garage and adding grow lights. Bringing that many plants in and out every season is going to get ever harder each time. If you have an open (two story) foyer, you might consider putting the palm in there, along with a few of the bigger banana varieties. You have a LOT of work ahead of you, LOL.

Sorry it took me so long to welcome you. I'm just now getting around to catching up on all the welcomes I missed while I was gone. BTW, I'm glad you decided to stick around.

Cute! I love it! Hail Mary! Wait a minute....I totally just got that!

Thanks for the cute welcome message!

Yeah I know what you mean! I’m definitely going to have to use my garage for sure! I wish I had a green house as well! I’ve got a few options for this coming spring/summer! Plus who knows if all my plants will survive this winter! Yeah I am so not looking forward to the spring when I have to drag out all the plants again! However, the difference with doing all this work in the spring time would be easier because I get to watch the plants grow and look like a beautiful tropical paradise right here in Ohio! So at least there’s that!

You have a couple options: drive over to FL and buy one, or find someone who isn't a commercial grower to UPS you one. I'm fortunate; NC has no plant restrictions that I know of.
