Thanks Noah - we are not too worried - we have made our preparations and will take what comes - Cat 2 now!! But I fear for the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas - they are only a few feet above the water level and the storm surge is predicted at up to 10ft!! Our friends on Eleuthera have had the sea surging through their house many times, and this looks like another time.

Ante, The rains have put down about an inch of rain for us and we needed it. Not as bad as some. It sure smelled nice. The newly seeded areas of our pasture liked it also. Good luck

What happened ? Hope it wasn't too bad. It rained again last night and put down over an inch. Nice storms with slow rain and low winds. Good luck.

Well, after cleaning and pruning all dead leaves I lost to about 25% of foliage, what isnt so bad after all. I dont mind shredded look but I get this every now and then. Well I guess thats the one of reasons why we dont have so many bananas arround here

Yes, it does look nice there. I am amazed at the many places in this world that people grow tropicals. Rain also is an issue with us on occasion as the grass doesnot grow and the cattle have to eat hay. Will you take the banana in when it gets cold? Even here in zone 9b it drops the temps down enough to harm some of the plants.

Yes I will.
I had tried to overwinter them in the garden but almost nothing survived the winter, so I dig them up and keeping in pots. I plant them out in the middle of May. Sherry, thanks you reminded me I hadn't any vacation this summer. ![]() Last edited by Seweryn : 10-05-2011 at 08:46 AM. |

We might get some cool down weather this weekend with some rain and hard wind (who could guess that
) that will be official end of the Summer here.

Well in bright sunny Florida the temps have also started to drop. Had to wear long pants, long sleve shirt and insulated vest this morning. I do not like cold weather, and it was only 56 F, but I still was cold.
Thankfully the plants are more hardy than I and it should be some time before they will need protection. Stay warm. |
