Picked up one also and it is doing good, there were several there when I got there but the next day all were gone. Bananas plants sell good around here and ours go on the block next week. Wish me luck. Thanks

Put 6 Basjoos in the ground and repotted 4 Maurielii. The weather is warm and the irrigation need is rising. We hope to have 4 more in the ground soon so they can get a good long season to grow. We are growing them mostly for fodder for the cattle. Some fruit would be nice but we're not sure if we will get any.

Not to bad for crowd that came through. Swap meet next week and hope to do better, will at least get some exposure.

Transplanted 3 Basjoos from pots into the ground. Moved 2 other Basjoos to different spots in the yard. Bought a bunch of cannas and a big Ginger plant in a 5 gallon bucket at a garage sale for 5 bucks! Planted an Elephant ear that I salvaged from the neighbor's yard trash during the winter, so far has put off 4 leaves. Picked up a Siam Ruby from Ace Hardware for $7.50.

I planted 4 pineapples today. I got the crowns from a display in the supermarket. The manager said I could have them for free. In about 2-3 years, I should have some pineapples.

The picture below is of some pineapples that I've had since April 2010. I forced them to fruit this year by wrapping them in a plastic bag with some ripe apples for one week. Two months later I noticed a change in the center of the pineapple plants. This was the flower forming.

Ice cream and Mysore (finally!)

Good luck with your pineapples. It will take a couple of months to see the result.

Great blog. I blog about my plants too. I wish I could grow my pineapples outside. Too cold here.

Planted my Saba and Ice cream banana in the ground this past week! So far they are off to a good start. Saba already has 3 pups (Im getting scared of this plant now, its going to be a giant soon!) and my ice cream banana has 1 pup (this one is a pretty moderate grower, not as fast as saba but the leaves are bigger so they need more room).

Here's my Saba! I got a really nice Alocasia "Stingray" at a local nursery today (finally selling summer annuals here!) and I planted it between the saba and the ginger. Hopefully they wont interfere with each other!
