Re: Bananas.org Members Yard Photos
Steve no damage here so the winds may not have been down to windsor (the Queen doesn't allow it as it shreds her Basjoos )
The weather in Menorca was mixed........One week hot and dry the second overcast and wet. Glad to be home.............I missed my bananas.

Re: Bananas.org Members Yard Photos
Turns out that Cornelius is a leaf licker!
 Glad the bananas are at least tall enough for someone to take refuge in the shade.  Corny between the nanners and the basil.  |

Re: Bananas.org Members Yard Photos
Randy-
Very nice. Awesome. I had to look again to see where you live, because i thought at first it had to be Florida! What kind of Papaya do you have there in the pot? How has your vegetation handled all the TN heat (i know TN has been in the "hot spot" this summer)??? |

Re: Bananas.org Members Yard Photos
Frank,
Thanks for the comments!!! The papaya was given to me from a good friend of mine that lives here and lurks on this board. Not sure of the variety... As far as the vegetation, the tropicals are all doing great, native not so great, but I tend to water the tropicals and not the natives... Can't water them all... Thanks again for the kind words... Randy Quote:

Re: Bananas.org Members Yard Photos
Have no idea what kind of papaya that is. I just bought it at Wal Mart and planted the seeds. To my suprise they came up. Hope it turns out to be a good one. Went by Randy's the other day and his yard looks fantastic. Mine on the other hand, don't look so good. Haven't been watering too much, and it's just about fried to a crisp. I have a few things that look pretty good. Hope i can post some pics soon.

Re: Bananas.org Members Yard Photos
tangy,
I normally water once a day when I am off work...When I work, it is for 12 hours but only about 2-3 days in a row... I don't get the chance to water on those days... Now that it is starting to cool a bit, I am hoping to cut back to every other day... The ee's underneath usually let me know when to water, if you know what I mean... Randy
