I know the SE USA got hit hard, but think the S.W. USA had a pretty mild winter

So how was/is the winter in your area? Warmer or colder than usual?

*edit: yes, I understand not all areas of the US are done with winter!! Wasn't trying to offend anyone.. geez!

I fared very well this winter with a low of about 35, no damage to bananas but lost some papayas. did lots of planting and ground prep this week and looking forward to a great season. my cannas are growing but nothing on the bananas yet.


sorry org, yes spring is here
