Thanks a lot guys!!!
And Mskitty, you have a sharp eye. I did not even know Mark was in the picture. When he was young, my kids named him Batman because of his face resembles batman.

James:
I don't understand!! You are in zone 10!!!! You should be able to grow anything there including mangoes and guavas!! If I live in zone 10, I will probably have a bunch of tropical fruits growing in my yard.
Do you have frosts there? May I ask?

Benny, Great Job hun.
You win ill marry you . Tammy

frog7994 · 02-16-2009, 05:45 AM

bencelest I have all of those plants growing in my yard but I did get nipped by the coold. The proble here is building up the soil it takes time.

bencelest · 02-16-2009, 09:00 PM

Ha-ha!!
Tammy. I am too old for you. Thanks, anyway.

Yes, I know James. I used to live in Florida. Lakeland, Jacksonville and Pinellas Park one at a time. The soil was just too sandy.

Westwood · 02-16-2009, 09:10 PM

Benny, IM 40 yrs old . your plants are young we can work together . Smiles
You make an old gal feel better thats the nicest turn down i have gotten in ages ... Might be the only one but still was nice . Tammy

Add ground Peat Moss and Humic acid. "Quench" is also a great product if you can find it at a reasonable price.

Ricard:
I am so surprised this morning.
The babacothat I got from you is starting to have flower bud.
Imagine I only got that from you last year and without roots or leaves.
At least I think they are flowers.
I took pictures of them but they won't download to my computer.
I'll do it asap.
Also where can I buy pyrithin? What store carries them locally?

Richard · 03-01-2009, 02:07 AM

Yea! The babaco will now put out about 1-2 flowers per week until the late fall, then slow down for the winter.

Pyrethrins are group of chemicals. The commercial product I like is Bayer Powerforce with the single active ingredient, Cyfluthrin. It is concentrated, only 1 ounce per gallon. Independent nurseries carry it, but you won't always find it in a big box store.

bencelest · 03-01-2009, 10:28 AM

Here's a picture I'd taken on 2/26/2009 but I had not seen the flowers then.

On the 2/28/09 pic I have a closeup view of the flowers.

bencelest · 03-01-2009, 10:50 AM

I might as well show you my plants inside my glass top how they faired this winter.

bencelest · 03-02-2009, 12:27 AM

Ah, I finally got the pic of babaco's budding flowers.
It's amazing I did it in my zone.

Richard · 03-02-2009, 12:54 AM

It would like to be in a 20 gallon pot.

bencelest · 03-02-2009, 02:12 AM

My love of growing plants is not confined to growing bananas only, before the start of spring and before the blooms start, I'd like to show you my citrus of yesteryear's. And this is just a sample. I have so much more.

bencelest · 03-02-2009, 02:14 AM
