Unhappy banana woes

Hey all,

I am new to the nanner scene...I have two bananas in the ground, (an orinoco and basjoo) and two in containers. I live in the Pacific Northwest and we had a couple weeks of great weather but we had some severe wind and rain yesterday. It's sunny again today but will barely make it 70 degrees.
Does anybody in the Seattle area know what I'm going through? I bought these bananas late this summer and they just barely started growing. I'm getting a small portable greenhouse to keep them in over winter. I see a new leaf coming and I get excited, and then the next day some of the other leaves get black spots all over them which seem to tell me that fungus is trying to take hold. I sprayed them with copper-based fungicide and pulled some of the leaves off but I don't what else to do.
Here it never hardly freezes here but the WETNESS is what is the problem. Should I hurry up and dig them up for the greenhouse or should I let them try to get whatever good weather out of September they can. (we kinda have indian summers here).
Thanks!

Zach
