thanks Edwmax, I'm so cheap I haven't even priced the big plants. Much more fun to grow them from pups anyway.
And thank you about the tough cores! I was worried. Now I will be patient.
For now, I am keeping everything (except the front garden) in big pots. I'm invading the neighborhood, going up and down the alley and into the neighboring parking field. Everyone is fine with it as long as they stay in pots.
Picked up a dozen barrels yesterday that we will split and drill out. They will be full of plants by the weekend. I'm getting some bigger pots today, too. Nice to have the nurseries around here!
The heat here in the summers in unbearable, but the banana gardening makes it worthwhile. And the beer tastes so much better.
