Doing fine in my basement. Can't find the time to post pics though... I started fertilizing with worm juice and they seem to love it.

Nov 19 - so the newest leaf is out on the Manzano. one leaf every 10 days. Everything is lush and healthy. This morning I noticed my mandevilla is starting to flower again along with my varigated pink lemon. (I'll post a pic when they open)

Is that damage due to the temperatures we're getting?
Last night was -21C here. -14C all day...

That's brutal! It's not nearly that cold here. It's from end of Dec early Jan but not from the last week. Dwarf cavendish if the most cold sensitive.

Brutal you say! From getting from my car to inside my house I got my nose bleeding. That's how brutal it is!!! Imagine with the humidity and the wind factor! Yes, it's windy today! At least my nanners are safe in the basement.

Here's a small update on the other bananas. I can't wait to get them out in the greenhouse in a few weeks. They are really taking off now! Hopefully I will be able to find some new varieties this year.

Looking good. I think it's going to take more than a few weeks though... especially with the storm we just got!

Hi fellow banana nuts
I was shocked the plant wasn't more damaged after a pretty bad zone 5b winter. I've started digging holes where the dwarf orinoco maybe another pisang ceylon and dwarf cavendish will be going at the beginning of April. The night temps outside are currently 32-34F.
03/23/17 Basjoo starting to take off Thanks for looking!

All the bananas are out now & have shot out a new leaf. Just haven't been planted yet.. and unfortunatly I lost most of the pics moving them into albums. I apologize so I've switched over to flickr. pain in the ass but photobucket was really acting up.
