BOB Unbelivable. A few questions if you don't mind. Some of you plants are lying down and some upright and none wrapped. Do you have any problem with drying out? My winters are cold and I am not sure what I am doing. Last year I built 5' enclosers around all my bananas and filled them with mulch. It worked ok but 15 yards of mulch is not cheap. This is my first year in a cold cellar and cold use all the advice I can get. I dug all but 2 bananas to put in the cellar. My one mistake was I poured a floor in the cellar instead of leaving it dirt. I don't no if thats going to cause a problem? I hope not.
