Will you keep all your pups growing in the same place or separate and plant them in different places. I think I might want to start my own banana grove! Don, I am so excited to get my pups! I hope my check arrives today:-) I was reading the other day about Doug Richardson and his former banana plantation at La Conchita. I grew up in Santa Barbara and would see the blue bags over the bananas as I drove on the 101 toward Ventura. Here are a couple of articles about him if anyone is interested: http://www.nytimes.com/1988/06/08/garden/de-gustibus-life-af... http://articles.latimes.com/1990-07-09/news/mn-199_1_banana-... http://articles.latimes.com/1990-07-09/local/me-72_1_la-conc... http://www.nytimes.com/1995/04/05/garden/at-the-nation-s-tab... http://articles.latimes.com/1998/feb/10/news/mn-17483 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Conchita,_California It makes me want to start my own banana plantation! By the way, it turns out that my avocado sport didn't revert back. Now I've got to find some avocado root stock to graft some of the branches! |
