more of the vine
Winter's still here, but spring's getting closer!
I have two of the variagated ginger. I got them about two years ago, so they are getting pretty big. They are in the ground. They got bit back a little last year, but seem to be doing find so far. The banana trees do shelter them quite abit.
Oh, I almost forgot, I finally picked bananas yesterday! They still need to ripen a little more, but they were yellow! Yeah!!!!!!!
WOW Don, beautiful as always! I have a Kalanchoe like that but it is pretty pitiful looking so I MUST be doing something wrong!
Congrats on the nanners! I hope to have some one day, if I can get the seeds to germinate!
Misti, forget the seeds, I will gladly send you some small trees in the spring! We have enough to share, believe me!
Nice nanners!!!
You are WAY cool! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have one of those! Thank you so much for the offer! My kids would just love it, too as they could eat all the nanners they want!
I really am still hoping on the seeds though as they are my pink nanners from Don. :) I would be the talk of the town with pink nanners and real nanners growing in our little Podunk town! HA HA HA
Maybe we will get a warm stretch again before Spring! LOL I have had some plants come in recently that are doing great believe it or not! Can you tell I don't have very much patience?! HE HE HE
Kim can't have none! HE HE HE Just kidding! :)
After the tree produces the bananas it dies. It does send out runners, and they spread really fast! Pink would be great too!
Don, how long does it take for it to get to full height from seed?
Hey Tammy I got me a switch ;o)
I would have to put mine in a large pot, right? I don't have Don's greener than green thumb to keep something alive that ought not be! LOL
Darn, here I go running again! LOL
I will still find you....again!! LOL!!
Now how did I know it was going to be pepper that posted! HA HA HA
LOL!! You can run but can't hide!! And I just posted on the other thread too!!
I don't want your beetles! LOL
I wish I could grow eatin nanners... I will just try my hand with ornamentals..Basjoo and Chinese yellow outside...and I want to try Ensete ventricosum seed...do they grow fast enough to treat like a annual?
HA Busted!!

This is where you need a green house Kim! :)
I f I chop down my fruit cocktail tree I could put a tiny one in the front yard..dern thing has not bloomed yet.
fruit cocktail tree?
Yeah, tell us about the fruit cocktail tree. Almost got one, costs a bomb! Got Kel laughing hard thinking about it!
I'm bringing those beetles over here. Can anyone talk to Beetlejuice and tell him to come and get his beetles?
Yes, inquiring minds want to know about the fruit cocktail tree! LOL!

Yeah, I'm interested about that tree too!!
I still laugh :~) I got this in the olden days before I knew about DG. It is supposed to have 5 or 6 different fruit..peach, plum..I will go back and check for the other types.
I like fruit cocktail, so a tree with all that fruit sure would be interesting to have! LOL I will stick with the nanners, though. :) I can make that pudding with nanners and vanilla wafers all the time, YUM!
That would be nectarines and apricots Ya'll still ROTF? I had no one to guide me..to say Kim do you really think this is wise. How excited I was at the thought of a mini orchard in my yard. The little stick grew really fast to 10 feet... been 3 years not a single bloom.
Must take that bugger a long time to mature! 10 feet in three years from a stick sounds like a lot to me. I am sure I would have thought the same thing, all that fruit in one tree!
Now, let's not laugh. The tree needs prayers!
(mmmmfffffmffff)
DH says its a gonner if nothing happens this year...think I will grow some vines on it to diguise that it has no blooms ;*)
LOL @ you two!
Run, Tammy!!!!
You can laugh out loud I know i am!!!
I been running the last two nights, I am whooped! HA HA HA
ROFLM, Chinese, A O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the first time I use that phrase!!!
OK, now I'm lost! But, what is new?! LOL
It is only supposed to grow 10 to 12 feet.....think it will be anice trellis?
Maybe it just needs some bloom booster, and of course prayer wouldn't hurt....poor big tree! Where's Don when you need him??????
Calling Dr. Don......need help with an unblooming tree!
I tell ya them catalogs do me in the winter..last winter i bought a Rare red brug..not ,it was yellow!!
Now I will do better I have all my new DG freinds.:*)
Yes Dr. Don, we need help! LOL He will be back posting more food! LOL
I don't get any catalogs so I am lucky there, I think! LOL
I hope you got your money back, Kim!
I need to get my catalog back from my grandma. lol. And I need to figure out where to put a gardenia to see if I can grow it here. If it actually makes it, it will be around 6x6 if I read right so I need to find room. :~)
