Joy Great success this year!!!

Hey! I just wanted to show ya'll my garden from this year. Spring was more like Summer. It was 80F (27C) on the 1st day of April! Just missed the record by a day which was 80F (27C) on March 31! We had a very hot summer. With only a few exceptions, for 3 months, every day was at or over 90F (32C)and 2 days of over 100F (38C):104F (40C) in June and 1002F (39C) in July or August. I started my garden in the back yard in mid May and here are the results from May to August to September.

In May



In August. They're me Pride and Joys!















Here they are in September after 50mph winds! It's ultimate height from the leaf tip was 9ft 6in. It formed pups that reached 5ft from the leaf tip!





That's me. I'm 5ft 10in. The pictures don't do justice. They looked bigger if you saw it in person.



Well, that's it for the way to the garage! There's more in my gallery! Later!
Lee

The tag never said, but most likely it is a Zebra/blood banana (Musa sumatrana 'Rojo').
