Great videos, Greg! I'm loving this new fad of making garden videos....gives me such a better perspective of people's collections/gardens than pictures will ever do. Looks like your plants are doing great...keep up the good work!

Thank you very much. Actually I do not have a weed problem in all the beds the only place is that hill what it is is the top of my bomb shelter under that hill is a room under ground it was built during the pearl harbor days I guess there was allot of home bomb shelters being built. Im not sure if mulch would stay put there I should try it. The mulch sure helps me with the weeds. All it is is the scotts black mulch from home depot . But no I donot spend that much time weeding its mostly pruining old flowers off my cannas and dead leafs of the bananas.

LOL...bomb shelter! NOICE! I heard that in case of a nuclear attack, you're actually WORSE OFF inside of those things. They act like a microwave and cook the person. You have a better chance of surviving without one, actually. Sorry, interesting off-topic information. So what do you use yours for?

Wow, Greg! Awesome video! I thought you did a great job remembering what you have and who sent it to you. You have a wonderful banana collection there, and your girls are positively lovely. I can't believe how fast they have grown up. Mine have started laying now at 22 weeks. I even let them free range a couple of times, and they pecked at some banana leaves but no real damage.
That fountain in the yard is really soothing. I have that same yucca too, and my VC looks terrible right now too, and my Siam Red burns in full sun too. Your garden is gorgeous. I'm sorry I didn't see this until now. I've been busy with work lately. Good job and thanks for letting us into your garden. |

Greg- I'm really impressed! I remember when you first came to the org, and now your gardens are bursting with bananas! Always room for more though. Good job, buddy.

Another video im not talking in this one because besides all what the cancer done it took my voice too. Any how here is my garden so far this year I lost allot of banana plants due to ear wigs over the winter.
My lawn was full of weeds this year im working on that problem. |
