COLD DARK ROOM

These are more ornamental than anything else. The fruit is two inches long now, but won’t get much bigger. Same thing last year. The one good thing is that Sully loves banana leaves. I routinely trim off damaged leaves & feed to Sully. Lots of free, good eats.

I will... Nudge me tomorrow if it slips my memory, though. I have a couple projects that have to be done today.

Thanks.

Welcome back Ray. Glad to not see you in here again. Please don't hide in your hole, these corners miss you.

Thanks Carol,

How old are you if I may ask? (I am a woman so I can ask. ) And just so that you don't feel targeted I am 47years old.

60. Don’t mind at all.

 

[Lokkje]

Oh Boy, I would be worrying about where the babies are?

Splatted under my shoe for the dumb half.

That is not old at all. You are still a spring chicken.

If you left Florida in 2004... I figured that hurricane season might have blown you back to Ohio!

It really wasn't the four hurricanes buttt it did help convince me to go. It's funny though. Because of what I went through in Florida, I recognize the smell and undercurrents of a hurricane. A couple or so years later I could feel the remnants of a Florida hurricane headed my way. It did hit. We had really bad stormy weather. It really tore up our city. When it arrived I rolled over and slept through it. I figured it couldn't be as bad as what I already managed to live through.?

I wish I could

Bananas are loving the heat & the 10 gallons or so of water I provide daily...as my wife says “self inflicted”...
Here you can see the large pot i have them in. When Frost comes, i cut them back & drag into the garage.

I feel the same. If I have to answer that question now and then through the year, I don't have to do the math again.?

It means the following:

SMH is the abbreviation of the phrase, Shaking my head.

Ok. I'll have to tell my son to stop that. You might injure your neck.? he does that all the time to me.

Bananas are really easy, they are basically a big grass that needs lots of feeding/compost & water. I got these from some online company many years ago. Still kicking. Try growing some in a large plastic pot.

Do you know a place where I could get some?

I never thought of banana plants as a big grass before...

Rose and I have been lucky so far. The hurricanes have missed as of yet since we moved to Florida. ?????

Mark, do your banana trees produce fruit?
If so,have you heard that after the tree produces fruit. Your supposed to cut the tree back?
A friend of mine banana tree produced fruit once and that's it. I did some research for her but got mixed messages on cutting back or not.

Good morning!!! I am at the MD Anderson facility already this morning getting dad checked in for another procedure.. some of his test results have disqualified him for the clinical trials study with immunotherapy.. he’s pretty disheartened. He’s having a Bronchoscopy done this morning and we should get better informed on the spreading (if any) of his cancer.. after this, we will go home and be done until next week. I’ll be trolling online for hours while in wait maybe I’ll catch a couple Yellowstone flicks On the The iPad..

So Happy hump day!!!

Hope all goes well for your dad.
I will keep him in my prayers.

Unfortunately it is hitting it's peak which is actually expected to last into September. But yes even though our numbers are still small compared to other countries, the number of cases per day is rising. But on the other hand I also do not trust this government to be doing the job properly. mmmm Better not say anything more since we are not supposed to be talking politics on here.

Maybe we can go to the thread where moderator's aren't allowed to talk politics.
