Hello!

I'm a new member in Marietta, Georgia, on the north side of Atlanta, border between 7B/8A. I've been gardening in an actual yard for three years now, and I try to add something new every year (last year was a rhubarb experiment) and this year seems to be bananas. I will be trying Velutina, Dwarf Orinoco, California Gold, Blue Java (if labeled correctly), two little Viente Cohol, and a sizeable pup from a clump of bananas that my South Georgia family has been passing around since at least the 60's. Not sure what it is, but its worked for my family in a lot of areas, I remember it having bananas about every other year growing up in Augusta.

This forum has been very helpful, and I feel like it has helped me (and will continue to help me) make informed choices in my new experiment - thank you!

Welcome to the forum, Grannycore.

I used to be in your area a lot when I was on Atlanta Homicide. We mostly shot the show in Roswell and Marietta. Love the King and Queen Buildings!

Thanks for the welcome! I expected to find good info on how to grow bananas, but was surprised - and charmed - to find a community built around them. Thanks!

yep - that's my area. Live in Marietta, work in Roswell. which means I can avoid most traffic and pretend the city isn't there. (:
