Default Re: Question About Musa Manzano.apple Banana

Hi Sandy, It is always nice to hear from you.
This person and I only email back and forth so it is kind of hard to just throw things in. I have tried to encourage her to join here, so that she can learn more but she is like your neighbor and thinks she knows all there is to know about banana plants and others things too.

I have had really good luck with tomato plants. Last summer most of my Roma's had over 100 tomatoes on each plant. They get a gallon of water each, every day and I fertilize with Miracle Gro for tomatoes every 2 weeks. They are dusted with flour to get rid of tomato horn worms. The worms gorge on the flour instead of the plant, until they literally explode. An old trick my grandmother taught me.

Thanks for your input and I hope you have fantastic tomatoes this year.

Bonnie
