Default Heads up in the NE and Great Lakes



If anyone has uncovered their bananas in the great lakes or parts of the N/E you may want to take some protective action, I've been very tempted to open mine up but I'm sure glad I held off now.

Snow too...LOL



Good luck all

Yeah I just took a peak inside last week I knew it was to early to uncover. Mine are trying really hard to push through that tarp already lol.
Everything is looking good and around another week to 2 and I should be able to uncover. Should end up with about 3 foot of pstem saved this year.

Uncovered mine a week ago. I will cover them back up today. I had to cut down almost to ground level to find a good stem. Do you guys think I will have to cut down more after this couple week cold snap is over?

Shouldn't have to if you cover it back up good.
