Re: Donetta
Our forecast for next Friday nite is a low 38*, so we are getting a little too close for comfort. I have quite a few to get in so thought (for my comfort, too) might as well start getting them in. Have some other things to do during the days next week so won't have to worry about them when it gets really cold. Our weather here changes so fast.

Re: Donetta
What are the chances of these bananas filling out in the basement? How much do I water the plant? They are so tall I can't get much light on the leaves. Does it help to keep light on the bananas as well as leaves? Is this plant done as far as doing anything for the bananas? Thanks for any info.[IMG][/IMG]

Re: Donetta
I wish you the best but I have a bunch hanging in the dark, deep, corner of my little patch shadowed by the big namwas for six months. The filling is going on at a glacier's pace. That being said...give it a shot! Never give up!

Re: Donetta
My guess is they will fill very slowly until next spring. Just try to keep the leaves alive so they can help ripen the fruit next year.

Re: Donetta
Don't know for sure where this question belongs but....don't know if it is my computer or the website....there may be a couple of days where the website doesn't respond. Is there problems with the website when this happens or is it on my end.

Re: Donetta
These are mostly dwarf Cavendish, Basjoos, with a couple Orinocos and one Maurelii. I hope to sell the smaller d. cavendish and hardy Basjoos next year. Hope I don't kill any off before next Spring.

Re: Donetta
It's good that you got all of yours in even if it didn't freeze!
I had one day (and one evening) to get all my plants indoors before we had 29˚ this morning! I don't think they would have looked happy if they would have been outside. Now I got a real mess to clean up from my hurried move! |

Re: Donetta
Yes, I'm glad now that I went ahead and got them all in. Just waiting for the Basjoos to get knocked down with frost and get them mulched. Guess I could go ahead and start mulching them now before cutting. Having a hard time finding straw with a decent price. Most stores want $7. a bale and I am trying to find someone selling it for $4. Someone advertised it for that, but think they are sold out. Might have to pay the higher price and get started. I'm sure you will have things cleaned up in no time. Glad you got them all in.

Re: Donetta
Since this website (for me) was down 4 times (for a couple days each time) in a little over a week, are there other websites (message boards or forums) about bananas that you are aware of.

Re: Donetta
There is a planet musa group on Mark Zuckerberg's signature social network site. They get some good posts there but its more pictures and less discussion.
Nanas don't change much from day to day, so I just live with the bugs on this website. As a person in the tech field, I know managing websites isn't always fun, easy, or glorious.... Erik |
