That's a lot of bananas!

Vickie, how long have those kiddie pools held up for you? Mine only lasted 2 yrs max and then everytime I tried to replace it the new one leaked! I am thinking they do not make them as good as they use to, or they are selling old stock.  The price of the kiddie pools went up too.

Beautiful. Hey vickie, I bet you can make some window hanging ponds. Like the flower pots but at least you will be able to add more ponds.

Thanks so much for the wonderful pictures 
Your hardy banana is beautiful !!!
I didn't realize some grow in water?

Green a couple of yrs for my kiddy ponds.. Someone I know their's have lasted a long time. Red hanging hum? Izzy some were older pics. And yes I grow bananas in water. One since 2007 another since 2008. And the banana pups are in water also. I love the hardy bananas. Since I had surgery my smaller bananas wintered in the basement are not as good this yr. I think hubby over watered. Some pics like I said were from other yrs.

Hey Vickie,

Have you ever grown Musa Sikkimensis - Red Tiger Banana? It is noted to be hardy from Zone 5 - 9 and has an average height of 12 - 18 feet.
Let me know if you are interested, I still have some seed I can send you as a thanks for what you are sending me.

Cheers,
Sean
