Mike,

The nanners are so big they make the garden shed look tiny...like a doghouse 😀

Sure love those concrete pavers with the grass between, great job on design.

Great welcome for the trick-and-treaters!

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Thanks Barb, long time no talk. hope you are well. Summer has been so busy with the new shore house that I have hardly been on. Things will slow down soon I think. Although ti has been pretty mild still, no frost or freeze yet, will come soon though. I plan to lug the giant queen palms into the upstairs master bedroom this weekend, ugh! light a candle for me.... 😯

maybe the chiropractor offers season's passes. 😆
Would one of those rental fridge dollies work?

Glad you enjoyed your beach house this summer.
Bet you've got plans for a few nanners there too.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

very pissed off, one of my tallest bananas in the front gardens have fruited and the flower is huge!!!! I was hoping the four that fruited would have been the only ones. but another one bites the dust, and so late in the season, almost a waste since it will frreeze in the next week or so....DEVIL! 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈

Michael,
Ah nuts! 😥

You'll want to take a photo of that huge flower.

YES THE MONSTERS ARE IN!!!! 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯

just brought them in tonight, we didn't attempt to get them all the way long staircase with the quarter landing, too many steps, and too much to get them all the way up there, we actually reworked some of the family room furniture to accomodate them. i measured them when they were lying sideways 12. 5 feet tall approximately and heavy as balls! i would have probably left mine (balls) on the floor had i tried to get them up there 😯

here are a few pics in their new indoor family room home....

and a pic of that monster flower I discovered as I cut down the front yard musas, so bummed!!!!!!!!(size 12 boot for reference)

You're right, Mike, that would've been a fabulous flower on the nanner. 😯 😯

Great photos of the Queens in their new spot.
Sheesh, I would've put 'em there years ago. :confused1:

You can even replace those wall light bulbs with full spectrum grow lites.
Those Queens will be sooooo happy.
Probably want to stay there in summer too.

Saves your balls... 😉 :evil4:
