Hello to all!
These are my pics from my garden from early summer 2014 until September(first frost here). my banana plants were grown from seed by me indoors this past winter (see my thread "musa sikkimensis germinating!")
The varieties I grew are : musa sikkimenis, musa Helen's hybrid, Musa sikkimensis X paradisiaca, musa sikkimensis red tiger. I also planted a little musa Basjoo who grew to considerable size among my sikkimensis and a musa "raja puri" in a pot. I also have a super dwarf cavendish that I transplanted to a bigger pot and grew to a nice size with many pups.

since then we had variable weather and the bananas grew some new leaves, soon I will prepare them for winter, my SDC, the twins and my raja puri are already indoors under the grow lights, I may try to make the SDC flower with my new 300W led lights.
