Default Re: Some people hate banana plants

When I first built my house not to many people like me in my neighbor hood. Like Jarred I was half their age had a great dane, and didn't mow my yard twice a week. It took 5 years before anyone really warmed up to me, but that is how I like it. Wait it was about the time I got married, and my wife moved in that people started talking to us... hmmm maybe they really just like her... lol Oh yea, back to the main point...

The tropical plants had people asking more questions than anything. I have seen bananas in more planters now too. But living in zone 5/6 these plants aren't normal, and don't have the "Weed" label. Even my neighbor has planted elephant ears I gave them, and now waiting for a Basjoo pup.
I think keeping them cleaned and tighty really helps. Interesting topic...
