Well I sure am glad I put the heat cables in now! The local weather man stated it's the coldest June 1 thru July 15 EVER since records have been kept in Providence (1904). My electric bill is way less than last year since the a/c barely comes on, so I might as well spend it on my bananas. Who knows the first frost I might even run the sprinkler over them like a citrus grove to add 2-3 weeks to the season. Anyways here's a few updated pictures from my supercharged banana grove day one to a month and a half later-now!
The Washingtonia Robustas are 8 feet, the bigger bananas are around the same. Not bad for fitting them in a Grand Am!!! Not the Robustas
By the way the unknown 12 dollar banana thought to be a ice cream banana is not. It looks like a orinoco to me but not sure. Still really nice for 12 bucks. Earlier post from palmsnorth.com that I posted, a site more for me but I feel like I live in the south.
Alright Austin, your the one who inspired me for the banana grove and the Washys with your photos so lets see some pictures. It's early in the season I know but all those 100 degree temps you have had must have made everything go crazy! Your Washy will be over your roof soon.
Thanks for reading ,
Bill
