Following the original threads, http://www.bananas.org/f2/update-my-...nts-47210.html and http://www.bananas.org/f2/update-my-...8-a-48141.html.......



Woohoo!....Nanas in pots are getting ready for transplanting to the ground in spring time!....They are getting direct sunlight half of the day, only in the mornings, then on the afternoons, they are getting filtered/indirect light, not too strong!.....Seems they are adapting fast, very well!....They are thriving!.....

Happy New Year Hector!

New year, new thread! Looking forward to this season's episodes!

I visited relatives in W. Palm Beach for New Year's. Super warm down there. You have to be having some incredible bonus growth in your patch with these winter temps!

Happy New Year to you too Donald!....So far this year winter hasn't been that bad in South Florida, comparing to prior years, knocking in wood!.....I can't wait for spring time to start transplanting to the ground, the new Nana Varieties!....It's going to be very exciting!.....
