A special thank you
 

Just wanted to recognize my friend Pauly. (damaclese)

Yesterday, following snow and frost earlier this week, Pauly offered to come over and help me move my larger containers inside. I have back problems and could not do it myself. He had offered to help several weeks ago, but I was rationalizing that if they couldn't survive outside, then natural selection would prevail. But, since they are not in the ground, the exposure to the frost and cold could cause them to die unnecessarily without proper insulation.

Together we moved 14 huge container-planted bananas from the back yard around to the garage. I feel much better knowing that they are safely stored inside the garage.

Thanks again, Pauly! You are a trooper!

Good job Pauly. There should be more like you. Years ago I lost a coconut palm that was to big for me to move due to a back injury, all the folks who had no problems asking for favors from me had no time to help so, I know how you feel Scott.

Re: A special thank you
 

Well gosh darn (Blush) your welcome Scot i was more then happy to do it and after all you did give my a whopper of an Ae Ae and i would have done it even if you hadn't donated the Plant so this is why you all should move to Vegas theres not allot of plant people in Sin city so we all gots to stick together! and mabey one of thees days we can have a Banana round up here and every one can come see the banana Plantation (thats what I call Scots house) his Bella was huge! that thing must have been 9 or 10 inches at the base and tall as a been pole i was more then happy to help save that bad boy

I bet you feel great that they are inside Scot. Nice friend you are Pauly.

Thanks Patty, I could but all of the leaves were lopped off so just pstems are visible and a few cigar leaves.

Here's what we brought inside:
Belle, Orinoco, SH3640, Red Iholene, White Iholene, Saba, Pitogo, Williams hybrid, AeAe, Mona Lisa (FHIA 2), Manzano, Hua Moa, Ice Cream and Mysore.

Since we had snow and rain last week, they were quite heavy! I could not have done this without Pauly's help.

Pauly for sainthood!

Re: A special thank you
 

great that you help each other!

Re: A special thank you
 

Today Pauly called and I was going into the lab to pot some TC's. I had nearly 40 of them to pot, so when Pauly volunteered to assist, it was a welcomed reply.
We potted every one of the little buggers, thanks to Pauly! I would still be there if it weren't for his selfless help.
I will be posting photos of them from my other computer. (probably tomorrow sometime)
