pretty sure its not a flag and a few pics of the banana plants
i have seen this before when i bring the plants outside for the season and it looks like a normal leaf is coming out next with no swelling near the top... we will see
  the plants are starting to put out leaves after a transition period    not in pots but the basjoo are growing great this year the matoke in the front yard is likely to get taller than the basjoo in the front though  the one in the backyard however will probably be the tallest plant this year i am guessing  |

Re: pretty sure its not a flag and a few pics of the banana plants
here is a pic from yesterday followed by a pic from just now (which makes it look larger than it actually is)
  i almost killed the bee balm last year but it is back and very tall this year... the bees however are not back.. kind of strange    out front they are growing well although i plan to separate some plants off the basjoo mat soon  very upright habit to this zebrina in a pot out front  |

Re: pretty sure its not a flag and a few pics of the banana plants
Sweet, you might actually get some edible fruit off that guy. Basjoo looks just fine to me, I have no doubt it will work out well. And….I don’t think I have ever seen that many millipedes in one location, the most I usually see is maybe two or three, that’s crazy!

Re: pretty sure its not a flag and a few pics of the banana plants
Wow! You're doing all this in Toronto!! I'll have to read through all your posts again and take more notes for what I'm trying to do here. And I'm heartened you got a namwah to fruit going inside <> out — how long did that take?
edit: I had no idea that you could cut the pstem down and still it would keep growing and fruiting (as long as you don't cut the flower?) — that's good to know as I try to cram things inside. Last edited by Petey : 08-07-2023 at 01:54 PM. |
