Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)

Re: Bitter cold on the way
Thanks. I don't think the ambient temp. is going to be too bad. The wind is horrible out there and that was my biggest concern, but I guess it's not really a concern. I knew you would have all the...

Re: Bitter cold on the way
I'm in Sarasota, FL and even though the ambient temperature won't probably make it all the way down to freezing, the windchill is expected to be in the 20's tonight and colder tomorrow night. I have...

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
I am not sure what these are. I got this plant as a pup from one of the members here but was told it was an ice cream. Regardless, they are very good, but anyone want to gander a guess on what they...

Re: Ae Ae with three pups! Yay!
This pstem isn't dying, it is just a bit weak and wimpy. I've had to cut numerous leaves off due to being dried up and burnt or broken from wind etc. It is about 5'4" tall and has grown very slowly....

Re: Ae Ae with three pups! Yay!
It was actually acquired and planted in Nov. 2011 and that winter ended up being pretty cold. I lost my beloved Red Lady papaya from the frosts that winter. I had the bananas wrapped up snug as a bug...

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)

Re: AeAe leaf edge browning..need help!
Thanks Frank,

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)

Re: Red Lady Papaya is Fruiting!
Well, I don't know what to tell you. These do not have a smell like vomit and to me I detect a sweetness in the aroma. Again, these are tree ripened and are extremely sweet right off the tree. I...
