Kynda,

The picture is actually very small. I can see what is in it.

Isn't that strange? I kept reducing it in size because it's huge on my screen. Thanks for your response anyway.

Looks like squirrel damage to me. My banana plants look just like that!

Well, my beautiful Stuttghart was coming along, the older leaves were still growing even with the ends bitten off, and new leaves were coming up. Looking great. And tonight, when I went out to admire it, I found that something--I assume that same *#*#*#* squirrel--dug up the tuber and ATE THE WHOLE THING!!! I'm just sick.

I have found something that keeps the squirrels away from my bananas and cannas. I had gone to Home Depot and purchased a $16 spray bottle of "Deer Away" or something like that. It worked, but one bottle for me only goes around once, and if it rains, too bad. So I researched the ingredients and came up with a concoction of my own that works.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have some "deer vik" that I used last year to battle the rabbits (also a problem in my yard). I'll give that a try.
