Re: You might be a banana feind ......
Truly I am lucky.. He honestly could care less about my tropical plants.. but that I am interested in them he tolerates them.. and even helps if and when I ask.. I broke my hand in July.. hubby has helped out more with my plants than I'm sure he'd like.. as well as picking up the slack in house work and waiting on me hand and foot at times... he needs spouse of the yr award!!!
he even acts interested when I tell him some new thing I learned about one of my plants!!! and he puts up with all of THIS coming inside during winter!!! These pics do not show every thing!!! Thankfully I have a bunch of south windows!! #112 notice how many plants you have to stuff in your house and put bananas hardy to zone 6 on the top of your list of new plants to get...

Re: You might be a banana feind ......
#113 feel the uncontrollable urge to check plants while reading posts about others plants... How does mine compare??

Re: You might be a banana feind ......
I guess I do need to give my wife credit for seemingly appreciating the "cool" factor of 'Ae Ae' when we saw one at the conservatory in San Francisco two weeks ago. Though, when my surprise 'Ae Ae' pup arrived from a friend yesterday, she wasn't nearly as excited as I was!
Speaking of which, I better go see how "she" is doing! ;) Harvey |

He DOES appreciate the bananas when they bloom. He will actually come out into the yard and look at them. :guitarris |

Re: You might be a banana feind ......
Congrats on the Ae Ae, unfortunatly I'm zonally and experiancially (challenged) for an Ae Ae, but they are Beautiful plants, please post updates as to the progress:2237:

Re: You might be a banana feind ......
Update #1 on my Ae Ae. Jordon told me that I want to keep the pot as warm as possible to get the roots growing ASAP. I have usually pianted my 5 gallon black plastic pots white white paint so they don't get so hot. I re-potted my Ae Ae tonight in another pot that isn't painted. I then put it on a germination mat under a grow light. I am now shopping for a greenhouse!

Re: You might be a banana feind ......
You might be a banana fiend if you play the Jimmy Buffet "Banana Wind" CD on a continuous loop in the greenhouse "for the plants" and you swear it makes them grow faster...

Re: You might be a banana feind ......
Ok, gotta chime in...
You might be a banana fiend... 117...If you wake up 2 hours before your wife and when she wakes up and asks if you made coffee, you realize you've been reading old posts on Bananas.org for the last 2 hours trying to find info on how hardy your plants are and which ones can actually stay in the ground...again... 118...If you've already got plans for 'which bananas will go where' when next spring arrives and are prepping their spots now, 6 months in advance... 119...If you cut your 15ft. tall lemon tree down to 6 ft. because it was shading one of your newly planted pups at midday... 120...If you constantly lose cups full of coffee and glasses full of beer out in your yard because you put them down to do something with your bananas and forget them... 121...If your wife says she is buying a pair of pants and 2 blouses because you just bought a 'big box of plants' from Rmplmnz and you think that it's fair... 122...If you see the smallest yellowing spot on a leaf and think you have every banana disease possible... 123...If you polish the wax on your P-stems... 124...If your spouse is looking for you, they know to just go out to the bananas... 125...If you ask everyone you know if they're growing bananas and beg them for pups. 126...If you become depressed when you run out of pups to trade for new varieties that you don't have... 127...If you see bananas in someone's yard, trying to come up with the courage to introduce yourself just to ask them for a pup... 128...If this all started with your wife's suggestion to just get 1 banana 'cause she liked the way it looked...and now you have 22 different varieties with more on the way... 129...If you started out wanting only dessert bananas, but now will grow any banana for it's genetic diversity and 'cause it looks 'different' from all the rest... By the way, I manicure and polish my P-stems, check my bananas 3-5 times a day for new pups/problems, and if my wife is looking for me, she knows I'll be out back with my bananas. I used to carry the shovel and bags (to collect other plants before the banana bug bit) when I was trucking, but ride my bike most days so no room now. |
Re: You might be a banana feind ......
130 You might be a banana fiend If you check this thread everyday.

Re: You might be a banana feind ......

Re: You might be a banana feind ......
# 128 is true here...........started with 1 that has 3 pups, ordered 5 seedlings, given 135 seeds by member, ordered 100 more seeds from another member and now trying 2 pineapple crowns coz of posts on here, plus caster beans:woohoonaner: :raftingnaner: :0519:

Re: You might be a banana feind ......
#27.
If your kids or grand kids call grandma nana and you start thinking of your banana plants instead of a relative. #28. When your friends and family keep saying "you have enough plants now, don't you think". Your reply is I will start putting some on top of the roof and also build a deck over the driveway for more room. #29. When a guy at work is named Musa from Egypt (I have a coworker by this name) and you think about your banana plants at home all alone. #30. You start naming all your pets after a favorite variety. |

:parachutenanner:
Sorry guys I was carried away from the first page of posts so to correct the thread, the numbers should be #129, 130, 131 & 132. Here is #133 (true by the way) You have a friend in Missouri that remodeled his house (living room) for a banana tree to overwinter. His boss owns the house and he can do anything he wants. #134 You love plants more than your spouse but you know that he likes banana's. People from the midwest like to grow plants that give back fruit, vegetable etc. So now you show them how zone 10 is a bonus and give them an Ae Ae for their birthday. "I heard it's your birthday, well it's my birthday too ya "(Beatles song). |

you get your child to an appointment late because you were checking posts on Banana.org and adding posts to "You might be a banana fiend......." #137 Your child might be a fiend if they keep asking every 10 min if you have added the bit about them and wanting to see all the updates with you..

139 If you keep looking at your banana for signs of shorter banana leaf emerging for it's the sign of emerging banana blooms like an excited father expecting for a new baby.

Re: You might be a banana feind ......

Jurassic Daryl gave me 9 dwarf cavendish!!!! they are 5&6 ft tall,some with pups! I baby these nanners like babies. theyre misted 2or3x a day, checked on repeatedly and i kiss them!!!!:waving: Ive never felt compelled to kiss a plant before my nannas!!!!!:simpatica I keep a humidifier running for the ones in the basement and the ones upstairs. My basjoo baby outside has been wrapped up for the winter. Iam watching for my nanna seeds to grow {thanks Randy}. Iam going to Indiana this sunday to get goat fertilizer for my compost pile for my honeys. I can't stay off the banana sites.!!!!!! All this started last week July 2007. I go to sleep, not by the t.v. anymore..............I just think BANANASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!:bed: Magicgreen

Re: You might be a banana feind ......
ok. i thought i was bad...but some of yall got me beat. i get up at 630am, look at my nanas till 1030-1100am. and the coffee thing,well i dont have a spouse to bring me a cup, it usually burns in the pot.then i leave for school.come home put out the dogs.look at my bananas. check under leaves, need water? need food. hang out on banana sites. i leave the radio on also,they like music.(and yes it is 80's hair bands 105.5 the rock dog, i was a teen in the 80's) sorry momentary lapse. read what i can about nanas,(bromiliads, got a new friend on another site who suggest getting at least one bromeliad.) while im at school talk about nana trees to everybody. yes they think im nanas. make sure the temp. in the room is rite, fill up the humidifier 2 times a day. go buy fresh shredded cabbage everyother week. thinking about getting another grow lite..need another humidifier? how many nanas can i fit in a room 10 ft. by 13 ft. along w/ the couch, computer,chair, bookshelves, printer table and about 24 other plants??? maybe the couch will have to go. i thought i had issues, but yall are bananas!

Re: You might be a banana feind ......
Kinda goes with #139 -
You plant some bananas close to the house so you can watch the growth through the windows. BADDDDD idea!!!!!!! One starts to show signs of a Flag. How many times can a banana fiend look at the emerging Flag right outside the window? Can you possibly WISH it to grow right in front of you? Yes, you can. But, it's NOT co-operating. It should have bananas showing by now. How many pictures have you taken? How many friends and relatives have you dragged out to see the new, soon to be bloom? I am soooooo tired..... :waving: |
Re: You might be a banana feind ......
you are sooooo rite.my mom (who got me my first nana) said if she hears one more thing about, and i quote,' THAT STUPID BANANA TREE IM GONNA COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND RIP IT OUT THE GROUND!" I TOLD HER IN A VERY POLITE MANNER( not) if she so much as touches one leaf on fred shes a dead woman walking. i told her that this is the only hobby i can do - besides gardening outside that i have found that fits my lifestyle. i dont go to bars, dont do drugs, and dont chase men.... id rather spend my time with potting soil,perilite, cactus mix, fred, charlie ,and george. YES THEY ALL HAVE NAMES. so if i happen to be a bunch of bananas than thats ok. at least im in good company. i should be taking horticulture in school instead of criminal justice...however if i dont get a confession out of a perpitrator...i can just tell them how many varieties of bananas there are in the world and i can tell them how to mix the dirt up, how much lite, humidity, and how to organically feed the nannas. i promise in 10 mins he'll be begging for the d.a. to put him in jail, with a full confession. you know i do have to take biology, botany sounds good to me.:goteam:
