I was able to put my bananas out permanently about June 1 and had to cover them once in late August. If the weather forecast is accurate, I will have to bring them in by Sept 10.
Over the summer we have had a number of hot snaps and cold snaps, setting a record for the number of days where the high was over 30* C(85*F). While we didn't have frost in the summer, overnight lows between 5 and 9* C(41 to 48*F) were quite common and overnight temps seldom exceeded 55*F. As a result all of my bananas have lost ground in the 3 months that they were outside. My Basjoo is going to a nice indoor home. I plan to keep the DCs and Raja Puris over winter and try again next year. Allen

Keep trying, they may not be bigger, but they are getting 'smarter'.

can you also post pics of your plants outside?
I have the opposite of your climate; boring wet summer with night of 45 F - 60 F and day temperatures 65 F - 73 F with lots of rain and not enough sun unfortunately. I think we'll get more summers like this summer ..
