Well - this thread ties in well with our experiences here this winter. We have had constant rain since November and the low lying areas of the garden have been such a bog that the grass has all died. Added to which, this is where the pool pumps out into, and which we have just emptied for repainting. So the area has been between soggy and under 4 inches of water for months. In this area I have a dwarf cavendish, unknown ladyfinger, blue java and dwarf orinoco, and they are all flourishing with no rot at all and are starting to flower. Soon the ground will dry out to a hard caked consistancy (horrible shale) but the bananas seem very resilient and tolerant. It has been a very cold winter too (for here).
