I do when I've ended 5 threads for a few days. That's me but I feel that I'm not contributing just talking to myself so I tend to shut up. Part of the reason I mention this is that other new members may notice this and thus not post. I could be wrong...I often am...ask my EX...

It always seems that way to me as well. I think some of this is time zone

I tend to post more when I have more free time usually in winter. I've grown bananas for several years and feel I'm somewhat middle of the road knowledge wise. I like learning from others ahead of me and helping the newbies just starting out. I've learned that I'm not interested in growing 100 different varities, but am totally into growing big and hardy ones that make my yard look like some tropical place. While its cool when i get some fruit, I actually prefer no fruit due to the fact that the mother plant then dies. The winter use to really depress me and coming here always boost my spirits thinking about springtime just around the corner. Lots of cool people and stories/info here is the main reason I log on.

I just checked out the chat room. Some guy named Fred is signed in but didn't seem to notice me. At the risk of stirring up a hornet's nest...perhaps if we decided on a day for folks to meet up there it would build participation on the forum.

While I have more time in winter, my bananas look terrible at this time of year and aren't doing anything. I could do a daily report on the tone of brown my leaves appear to be!
