Re: My basjoo
Doh, I snapped both my tibia and fitula last week playing football, or futsal to be exact. Seems like I'll be in a bit of a rush to set up winter protection when I'm able to walk again:( Oh well,...

Re: My basjoo
Nopes, it's still at my summer cottage and I really can't get there on weekdays.
Oh well, were supposed to try to overwinter it in the ground anyway. Would've wanted the growing season to last a bit...

Re: My basjoo
+0c forecasted for tonight, I wonder how my nanas will look tomorrow when I go see them at our summer place. I guess it's time to set up a burlap enclosure if there's anything left.

Re: Any one ever tried to "lean" a banana plant?
I have a pup that has slowly bent itself. It's rooted firm but it grows in an angle of 60 degrees.
