Hey, totally new to growing bananas... or wanting to grow bananas.

Originally from northern Alberta, Canada. Moved to TX about 10 years ago. I miss growing berries, but I love everything else about gardening down here!

You can still grow some berries but probably not of the goose genus. But the world of southern plants has become yours--seize it!

Do yourself a favor and update your profile to show where in Texas you live (check my profile info on the left to see what many other members and I have done). No, we're not scoping out your house to rob it but sharing that info means that members in your area/zone can give you specific info on your new journey and the rest of us will contribute less detailed advice. Another potential benefit is that someone nearby is clearing a mat...yippee!

BTW, welcome. I lived there for 2 years...ages ago...I left TX when I was 4 but still remember the San Antonio Hanging Garden and the Zoo Train.

You will find that there's berries that grow wild on your place whether you want them to or NOT!!!! Big, fat, juicy berries begging to be made into jam......
