Today....

17 years ago

Today I went down~under to check on the Banana's stored under the house.. I lost both of my Dwarf Cavedishes's..:O(

But everything else looked good...Anyone here grow DC's or can find them for cheap?? I would love to replace them.. I have a couple of GF's with about 3' P-stem I could trade for a couple of about the same size..

I moved about 20 brugs out of the house to the porch for some fresh air.. Now all I need to do is empty the garage and the messy room,kitchen, livingroom and the buffet.. LOL

What have you got going on????

    Half my brugs're out getting fresh air, Kylie, including rooted cuttings. Absolutely glorious outside!! Not the seedlings, yet, tho.
    The other half.....well, these were the ones kept at 38-40* all winter in basement and I don't really want to know the damage, but can put it off no longer. Will be checking on my poor babies when I get home from the office this afternoon. Back to regular watering and spraying, soon! Still 7 weeks til last average frost date.

    7 wks??? I didn't realize it would be that long for you.. Ours is I think 3/15....I lived in N GA and it seemd like it was nicer there than here come Spring.. I have had the ones in the garage in and out a few times and they have been expose to light sun.. GETTING EXCITED HERE!!!
    WOO HOO..
    Just wondering what to do with all of the seedlings???? I am thinking of buying a carport cover and using it as a shade house... They are only about $300 for a good sized one.. I would have one for free if my BIL would get that dang truck of his out of here...LOL
    I haven't taken roll yet and I know I have a few losses.. and a few that are out of here.. Can't wait to see how it shakes out..LOL

    Kylie, a couple of weeks ago I saw some at HD for $3.33 in a small pot (poss. 5"), and I bought one for $4.99 from a store a few months back (see pix below; it's the smaller plant with the leaves a bit torn because I have it outside even in cold weather). The nursery by my house has them a bit taller ones in 1-gal container for $14 (see pix, I don't recall if the dwarf Cavendish was as tall as this William I got). Even Walmart sometimes has them. Let me know and I can certainly get you a couple of the smaller ones like I have unless you want them taller.

    Kylie so sorry you lost your nanas. But like Eloise said, you might be able to replace them if no one has any to trade.

    Well dang...can you believe the the daily picture person forgot to take a before and after picture of the work I did today :-(

    After painting on the house I started in the garden. Turned the compost under in most flowerbeds. Then planted the amarillis in the bed. The wind just blew them all over.

    Then Oh my gosh after that long flowerbed was all planted, dH came with the package from Barb and there was the BIGGEST Amarillis *Dancing Queen* in there that I have ever seen. THANK you Barb...but I get to that in another post lol

    repoted all the bigger brug seedlings into waterbottle halves.

    Well and that took me until now.

    Ohhhhhh and DH went and picked up the tiller yeah. It will be a few days before I am going to try it out for the first time. The one flowerbed is ready to be turned over with the compost and planted with some of the plants. THEN it is time to try.

    Kylie, sending you an email.

  • 17 years ago

    I am so sorry to hear about your bananas. I know I have knocked off a few plants and cutting this winter. I think I should give up on a variegated brug, is there really a difference? I recieved several different ones and the only one that has survived is Maya. But today was a productive day. I raked leaves out of my front yard, 3 bags and I don't even have a tree in front!!! Went to home Depot and replaced my outdoor lighting in the front. I have a lamp post and after the last wind storm I no longer had a light, it was hanging on by a thread anyway. Kept my garage door up all day so the plants in there could get some sun and I watered all of them too. And I can't believe I had to poopy scoop the back yard, neither of my girls were around today, that is one job that is usually delegated!!! It has been a busy day!

    My DC froze back a lot but has several tiny pups coming up all around it now. Our walmarts also sell DC's for @ 3.oo during spring and summer. Let me know if you still need one.

    Of course I will. I see they have a waiting list for them. Maybe I can at least get on it if they don't have any there available. They look pretty cool.

  • 17 years ago

  • 17 years ago

    I'm fine. Had to clean up another car today. I hate car selling time of year but this one came out really good so maybe I can make a little more off it. Got the rest of the Hawaii trip booked tonight after the walmart trip for a new water hose, lol. If they change the plans again I'm gonna hurt someone. Cost me a chunk of change to change the tickets. Gonna take the dogs to Patty and Tony tomorrow and see how they do. I hope it works out or I will have to board them and will need to sell another car, lol.
