Finally after 3 years in the ground some of my babies are giving fruit! I'm amazed at them!

Hope to the banana gods you get some seeds! Apparently you can grow the flower in a vase, like a cut flower as well.....

Hey, yep I removed the covering in mid March, probably for good by end March. However t was so mild this winter that I would often flip the top hatch of covering on warm sunny afternoons. I just cant get over how huge and heavy the pod of flowers and fruit is...Amazing!!

Storms came through pretty strongly, preceded by high winds all day long. They got pretty shredded and even list a lot of huge leaves. However, the flower pod and bananas are fine! We got almost 2 inches of rain also which is always welcome!

My area has been dealing with the same storm system all day, and it is supposed to rain until Sunday 😕

No worries Barb,that was last year-the winds have been pretty gentle on us this year
but the Saba certainly was shredded yesterday and the G-reed grass took a snapper
or 2 getting smacked against the roof line(gutter)....other than that-have not had a real t-storm since July 1.
