Ginger and Bananas

Westwood · 07-27-2006, 12:52 AM

hey all im looking into Setting up a Front landscape that will take the breath away from my neighbors .

what do you think of Bananas In pots Burried down all but 6 inches and Ginger used to cover the pot Planted 10-16 inches away. this will be flowering edible Ginger .
as well i have Oranges Lemons and other plants like palm trees and Orchids and some Plumerias, tulips and other plants i just putting it together in my head nothing set yet so ?
But if i ever sell my house i want MY Plants I wont go with out being able to have them .. IS that greedy or needy ?

Any way Ideas and suggestions Please ..Tammy

Throught the banans in the ground..the roots like to grow laterally and need fertile well drained soil....there will always be pups to take with you....

Westwood · 07-27-2006, 11:45 PM

I understand the pups But what my worry is is that the ginger may wrap around the Banana and kill it . and may take up all the goods out of the ground .Tammy

Rmplmnz · 07-27-2006, 11:52 PM

Just think rock, paper, scissors…you get the bananas going and everything will be fine..no worry about the bananas……...I just cut up some bananas..that pushed my neighbors PVC fence out of the ground..lol….

OH man that is horrible for your Bananas . Why did your Neighbor have his Pvc pipe on your property ?

You could of sold the plants to me pouts ..

OK ill do it them ill dig the holes Now and once i get time after storage ill do it next yr . right now the ground is so soft i could use a table spoon to go threw that sand so i might Dig holes and fill with real rabbit manure and let it sit .

One problem now i found out i have an underground river here .
so Sandpipe shhh they say i cant use the one but im an outlaw LOL Tammy

Rmplmnz · 07-28-2006, 12:15 AM

lol...it was PVC "Fencing"..but not to worry I have all the banana plants you could ever want..I compost more bananas than most people grow..ck out my photos...;-)

Westwood · 07-28-2006, 12:51 AM

Got any for sale ,Trade ,Swap?

i have a Roomate who is handy Digging holes ill swap ya for a Dwarf edible variety ..

Or um lets see any pups corms? Im looking Im afraid to get unedible since i teach children as much as i can about the foods weeat by growing them its a blast. I love it .. they do too.Tammy

Cant wait to get ahold of Peanuts since they think they grow on trees and Bananas in the ground like Potaters..

I'm trying to figure out how tulips fit in with all those tropicals. We can grow a tulip here in Florida for, oh, maybe 5 minutes in February. Then its too hot and they keel over.

I don't think your gingers being planted near your bananas will have any negative effect on either plant. I plant gingers, bromeliads, different aroids, herbs like basil, fennel and mint and all sorts of other plants around the bases of my bananas and it is never an issue.

mskitty38583 · 07-17-2008, 01:06 PM

plant your nanas in the ground with your gingers and tulips. it wont hurt them. youd be amazed what you can grow with nanas. as for raiding the compost pile.....kylie ill meet you in ga and we can go from there. lol! but first richards and bennys yard.....wanna come to? LOL!

Kylie2x · 07-17-2008, 02:18 PM

I'm in!! I'll even drive.. I guess I should bring the long bed...ROFL.. You guys better watch...I use to live in Ga and I know how to get there...

Are you thinking of standard white-blooming or red-blooming Zingibers? Because if you want something really unique, check out Shell Ginger (Alpinia zerumbet) - edible and very nifty flowers.
