Amen Brother...Being in Zone 8a with you!!
I am thrilled with a nicer climate than my old Zone 5 in Ohio, but would love to raise the bananas like in South Florida, California & Puerto Rico(and the Dominican Republic - just once I want a 1000 Fingers of my own(Luv ya IC!
).
Trying not to be envious - 'cause Fernie sees banana fruits from his plants & can eat them out of hand.
So I know if I can find a way to weather it over - I will be successful in my Zone.
So I'll be watching - all my plants are green, plump & beautiful despite the outside temps hitting 50 degrees & cold rain.
Except my AeAe - it's inside!
