Default Re: when to cut that rascal,,,!!

well...the one photo that shows some orange twine is resting safely with an exact copy that i uploaded (thought i was sending 7 of them)...so, enough of that nonsense today...it's just about time for a cold drink to help me live with my limitations...

i went to the bananas today and found twine going in all directions to do dual purpose: hold up the fruit and try to keep the tree up in high wind...

we have hurricanes sail past offshore about 4-9 times/year.

a fellow showed me a new variety called "Macho Chaparo" that grows to about 8 feet instead of the usual 15-19', and is hoped to be a good producer and not topple...

on the way home i stopped and saw men planting another variety which i think he indicated was of "commercial" quality (you eat it right out of the skin rather than having to cook it)...called "Enono Gigantic"...and he gave me 2 bagged-up starts!

not a bad day, if we don't talk about my computer skills...
