The one-gallon milk jug thing makes an excellent drip irrigation system. LOL!!!

Hey Pauly;

I didn't realize how anal they were about the water supply. They sure don't tell us tourists to conserve water.

Hello Gabe,
Are the Señorita and Pisang Berlin, that you have, from tissue culture? I had heard that there are Señorita varieties in Oahu. Have seen any?

Thank you.

damaclese,

Along with having to ask for water in a restaurant. In the hotels they ask you to leave a sign on if you would like to reuse your linens and towels to conserve water. I didn't realize the lake in front of the Belagio was grey water.

Good luck with keeping everything watered this summer. It gets offly hot and dry there.

thats not ranting...thats frustration. i had the same feelings last summer. we had a drought,and the rivers were down 22-26 inches. so they said no outside watering..ok not a prob. but every single business in town was out watering their plants at noon.every day. buy drought tollerant plants, wave petunias,merigolds cacti! ok the best time to water is am. there is less water evaporation. and your plant will absorbe more water in the am then it will in the pm( im talking annuals and perrenials, not nanas) lol! and the run off from them overwatering really made me mad. so i decided that i was going to mulch my yard in( to keep from having to look a brown crunchy grass in the summertime). and i dare them to tell me i cant water my nanas. i have a plan.i think i will use the plastic milk jug as a drip irrigation. recycle-reuse. lol!! hahahahahah hehehehe

The 'reuse linens' signs are in most hotels. I thought that it was to reduce the phosphates going into the water supply. I never noticed the need to ask for water with meals. I haven't got to the Bellagio yet. The Venitian's water is odor free and seems pretty clear.

I am not used to water rationing. Even in drought situations, I don't remember the last time we were told not to water lawns etc. The city requires that we wash all recyclable cans, plastic and glass before they go in recycle containers.

But, my yard is 100% tame grass free because I hate cutting grass. I do have some ornamental grass along with the perennials, shrubs, vegetables and bulbs/corms.

Why is it so hard to get plants into Canada, if I may ask? You must be very diligent if you grow bananas up there. I used to live in WV and I finally just gave up.
