Banana article published
 

For those of you who are local (Texas) I just had my article on growing bananas along the Gulf Coast published in the most recent issue of Texas Gardener. I think there will be link to it on their website pretty soon. If so, I'll post it here for those interested. This article is pretty similar to the one I wrote for the first issue of Bananas Quarterly, with some minor changes.

You can probably find this mag. at Wal-Mart or other book stores. If you are into gardening in the Texas and Louisiana region, it's a great magazine. Not really trying to advocate for them, just passing along my opinion since many of us here are gardeners.

Thanks everyone! It will eventually be up, from what I'm told, at Texas Gardener -- The magazine for Texas gardeners by Texas gardeners.. At the moment, they still have up info about the May/June issue. Sometimes they lag behind a few days.

I've also recently found out that I will be shooting some gardening segments to air on one of our local TV channels. It will be on a show called "Going Green with Yolanda Green". We start taping next week and I think the first spot will air in early-mid July. If they don't turn out too goofy I'll post a link to the video here at some point.

Way to go Brent! is the article in the issue that is at newstand right now or next month?

Re: Banana article published
 

If it isn't on news stands now it will be shortly. I just got my copy at work and they usually send out a week or so early to subscribers I think. It is the July-August issue and the words Texas Gardener are printed in purple. It has a close up of an artichoke about to open on the cover.

Thanks for the information Brent. :2239:

Will be watching for it! Thanks Brent! ~Cheryl

Good work, Brent! I had some Jehovah's Witnesses come to the door today, and one guy was from California. He wanted to know about my "banana trees," and how I could grow them in Tennessee! We ended up talking more about bananas then his original purpose, lol.

Oh, don't worry...if they do end up goofy, I will be sure to post them! :ha:

Do we have a star being born?!! :woohoonaner:

Congrats Brent!! Someday maybe I'll be watching you on HGTV and say... I got my bronze laterita from him..... well you never know!!! First a local channel and next you're nationally syndicated.

And .... oh my gosh I had Jehovah's Witnesses come to my door yesterday about a big thing going on in Indiana and the guy commented on MY bananas too!! :ha: What a coincidence as hardly anyone comes door to door out here let alone anyone that would recognize a banana plant! I enjoyed talking to them!

A star? I doubt it, but one never know's where such things may lead! I made sure that I plugged bananas.org in my article, though.

Re: Banana article published
 

Great article Brent! You do us proud!

Re: Banana article published
 

Did they finally post it on their website? I was busy over the weekend and never had time to check. Anyhow, thanks for the compliment, Scot!

Here is the link for those interested. They apparently didn't post all of the photos on the e-article. The actual magazine article had more photos.
