We were joking in another thread,I said I had enough for a Coop,just can't figure how I would box them,LOL!!!
Time to dig!!!
John I can not believe this came in the mail!
Lisa I can't hear you????
Well, if I had the space for them, I'd be driving your way in a heartbeat!
Heather,I'll keep you a little one for spring round up.
Nice ears in that last pic Root!!! LOL Please tell me, how do you grow everything that you do? Some of the pics that I see that you're growing would scare me! And I'm in z7! Aren't you in z6? I will have to give them a try next year!
Brinda :)
You should start a coop! LOL
Brinda,I will be taking the big ones to a greenhouse for the winter.
Hey rootdoctor thanks for calling, nice to hear from you. I was checking out those pictures and now I can't wait for spring. So I'm off to the basement to my time machine.
Oh, goody! I can hardly wait for spring as it is. I've shown DH some of the pics you've posted from time to time, and I think he's a little worried what I might come home with after the next round up. LOL
LOL!Heather,not to worry,I won't give you a monster to start!
Froto,always great to talk with you!get the time machine running!!!!Set for spring!
Bob, those things are enormous. It must be all that compost and rabbit poo. My macs didn't send up one baby this year. I'm hoping that the one I kept will be large enough to do it next year. That banana is something else. It is hard to believe that it was small enough to go through the mail this spring. Don't you just hate the bare yard look now?
root, I know I will love anything that comes from your garden, whatever the size. I just hope I can get the same kind of results that you do!
Good John,I always like to make folks smile!!!If you get on BGI tonight,send me an Email with your address,it will go into my other box,I can not open MSN,and that is where all my addresses are.
Root, those are fabulous, may need to ship them this way if my winterizing palm method fails! LOL
How'd they fit in the mailbox, huh??? And how you gonna mail them to mine??????
"eyes"
Wait a min eyes I got them on reserve for when mine croak this winter LOL! And, I'll get a new mailbox if I have to LOL!
ROOTDOCTOR! You're amazing! Those are huge! You're a great gardener....I cant wait to see your house on next summer..LOl..Heheh.
What Alocasia species that is? So big leaves..
You guys are too much!!LOL!Candee get a big box!!!
The Banana came three in a box from Fla.
Mitjo,yours is a baby from this one!remember to feed in when they are growing(summer months),yours will get there!
I'll try to get everyone a baby this spring,depends how many I can getthrough winter,I bet I have given 50 away,I started with 3,hard to believe,and I got my first bloom and seeds and now babies!!!
Root - I showed your pics to my hubby.... he said "That guy is crazier than you are"!! See what I have to put up with? LOL!
Those are awesome. My lil' nanners certainly didn't get that big. EEs nevers do either. You are one good plant Daddy!!
LOL,Poppysue,I have DW scared to go to the store,there is less room in the house when she comes back!!!!
I whacked back the Brugs,so I have a full aroma in the house,she likes that,and she was so impressed with the Nana,she wants to take it to work,I just have to send them a picture of it.
Root...
I have a nana that is about 5' tall. I just noticed 2 pups on it. Now....how do I get them? I think I remember seeing a post long ago that it's pretty tricky. Is that true? How long do I wait? They are only about 4" now. Thanks in advance!
Brinda:)
Brinda,I am not the Pro on this,May haps John can say better then I,I had three nice pups on the big one,I dug the whole root,and with it laying on it's side I cleared the roots on the pups free and snapped off the bulbs,I did it wrong on one,it broke close,no roots:0(
but the other two look fine.
I'll see if I can dig up a pic tomorrow for you.
My musa is in a pot and there are all kinds of pups, I've been afraid to touch them. Last evening when I got home I noticed it even has a pinkish bloom coming on it. Will I really get bananas?
Oh, great, mine is baby of this one, great...!
I cant wait the next summer...I will plant mine in flowerbed too I think..Lol..
mine are babies-i love ur pics! the lisa i hear ya-omg thats to funny root~
Great Root...I would love to see a pic! Thanks!
Brinda :)
haighr gets buds,root gets buds...everyone has buds...
I'm budless......
hey chik, if it makes you feel better you can have my bud or better yet just go get a sixpack!
That's rich, CC.........go for it!!
"eyes"
my buds fell off. :
CC, don't feel alone. I've never had buds and probably never will. Too cold up this direction and no winter greenhouse.
Well, reread about my musa 'african red' and it is ornamental only, bears no fruit. But you guys said the blooms will last a long time in cut arrangements, so will give that a try!
rootdoctor, I just glanced at this thread. The tara family is easy to ship. Did them up, and cut off everything but about one inch above the tuber. Everyone could pot up for their sun room, hoop house, greenhouse...or put in ground and give a very heavy mulch...at least 12 inches.
They are amazing plants.
root...
You can't hear me? I can hear you....how's the digging coming along??
Wow! What big ears you have! Good thing the wind isn't blowing. I read this whole thread and now I'm thinking bananas for my new greenhouse. What is a good variety?
holy big ears batman!!! wow lisa those are huge-mine are so tiny! LOL
You guys are making me crazy here. With the frost although protected with insulation, mulch and burlap, I have palm fronds buckling left and right. I just gotta build a GH around the island LOL!
Lisa yours sure looks great!!!!I wish I did not have to dig mine!
They sure get nice bulbs,I think I may need a little bigger pot for this guy.
