Re: First year Musa Basjoo success in NJ!!
Last year, I had very good results; managed to save the corms, and all the p-stems, right up to the top, so I figured I'd do the same thing this year. I got the stems covered with newspaper, and plastic, and got the wire cage around them, but never got it filled with leaves, or the tarp over the top. As a result, the stems were mush, but a couple of the corms were good. However, the ones that I took inside (as reported in my thread, "Basjoos out of storage") did fine, and are growing now. The growing is rather slow, as the temperatures have cooled down considerably again. We had a teaser day, last week, of 92°F, but now we're back down to the 50s and 60s, maybe even 40s, at night.
