Re: Bananas wasting away please help
Agreed, Mr. Olaf. It seems timmko's previous problem was not necessarily the amount of water, but whether or not his soil was draining properly. I follow the same course, good draining soil...

Re: Bananas wasting away please help

Re: ATTN: Sago Palm growers
Thought I would warn any cycad growers in the Mid-Atlantic to be on the lookout for stinkbugs attacking your sago. I had a beautiful new flush of 13 fronds a few weeks ago. About halfway to maturity,...

Musa Basjoo & Colocasia for the new home
Hey kids! Sorry I've been out of touch lately, but things have been sort of unreal and scary of late. I would go into details, but it's a horror show. Why scare everyone else? :10:
