I hope it will warm up some time. It hasn't reached above freezing in almost a month. Both of my musa basjoos look like they've died from the rotting of the psuedo-stem and they might not come back so I'll probably need to get another one. They really don't do well and will not survive indoors.
Does anyone know if there's any chance that bananas can revive from the roots?

It was 35F today but we still mardi gras-ed it up! Apparently St. Louis has the second largest mardi gras celebration...second only to New Orleans! It was a good time...lots of people and a large area of town blocked off.

I see that your thermometer can also be used on Mars and Venus. Nice temperature range.
From Arctic to tropical circle.

plant some seed starters now! Nothing more exciting than watching the seeds grow and having head start on spring planting.

aww I really want to get into carnivorous plants. The only way I see it working for me would be an aquarium... But those are for the reptiles..
Maybe someday!

Thanks guys! That's only about half of them Migael, not counting any of my seedlings! HA! HA! I do have quite a herd of them!
What kind are you looking for Alex? I do have some pups on some of them - though a lot of the pups didn't make it through the winter - I did have some tough ones that did. ~J

Its still winter here, but the past few days have been in the low to mid 40s which isnt too bad when its really sunny outside. This is also the time of the year when my indoor plants start to grow a little faster because the sun gets into the windows. My bananas are still stored away, but continue to grow. I cant wait to get them outside and only about 6 more weeks to go before many will be out for the summer.
Also rain is comming this week which is much better than snow, but after that day temps will be around 40 (many are 39), which is below average, but the days are longer and all the outdoor plants look like they are going to be blooming soon. Good luck, I hope that spring will be here soon!
